Engineered with a 2-layer GORE-TEX membrane, updated 3D-curved arm articulation, and lightweight PrimaLoft® insulation mapped like a built-in vest around your core, this jacket focuses heat where you need it most while leaving your arms light and uninhibited for hiking, grabbing, and throwing turns.

Pro Tip: Understanding Body-Mapped Insulation

Heavy insulation down the arms causes unnecessary bulk and sweat buildup. Burton’s vest-mapped insulation concentrates thermal warmth directly around your core—where vital organs need it most—while keeping the sleeves light and uninsulated. This design traps central body heat on cold chairlifts while giving your arms total freedom to move, breathe, and dump excess heat through sleeve during high-output riding.
