Burton and Carhartt WIP collaborate for the third time on a men's snowboard gear collection that marries technical superiority with a fashionable demeanor. The Winter 2018/2019 capsule features 10 sleek designs that embrace Carhartt WIP's workwear-inspired approach to design with Burton's exceptional high-performance fabrics. As a result, the collaboration marks the release of an ultra-stylish, durable and technical line-up of men's snowboard gear.
Some noteworthy pieces of the Burton x Carhartt WIP collection include the Worthley 3L Bib Pant — a technical shell that boasts taped seams for premium waterproofing, the Keeler 2L Down Jacket which features an ultra-warm insulation with premium 900 RSD goose down fill, as well as the durable Darter Duffel for carrying around gear and accessories in a neat and organized manner.
