Evolution towards perfection


For the '07 season Burton introduced the Ride suit and it was an excellent first try. Minor issues such as super narrow sleeve openings and pockets too small to be useful were fixed by '08 when Burton rolled out the Beecher snow suit. However, gone was the long sleek cut and in its place a was a new 'choke me when I sit down' fit. Great for those into asphyxiation, not great for falling in pow.

With B By Burton's '09 United One Piece, they have united all the good bits of each suit and nixed all the bad. Fit is dialed, the functionality is spot on and they've even thrown in some upgrades.

The United suit has a convenient retractable pass pocket on the sleeve, suspenders so you can unzip and hike jacket down, and bombproof 20k/20k material to keep you warm any dry under any conditions.

Available in bright white (not for chicks who ride hard or go through that muddy parking lot), marigold (you won't get out of anyone's sight on a snowy blizzard day), and faded black jacquard with washed prints (as shown here on the left).

Ok ok...
I forgot about the white suit's built in ability to show just how hard you rip with every stain, smudge and rusty rail residue.

LAMB x BURTON Part II

Image
Back in 2013... two of my favorite brands got together, joined forces, mixed their  secret ingredients to come up with the first L.A.M.B . x BURTON collab. Two years later, these great creative minds are getting back together to treat us once again to the sickest outerwear and winter coats... But the torture!! We have to wait until this fall ladies to get the goods! To be the first to know about its availability fill up Burton's email form  or follow them on twitter @LAM Bfashion and @burtonsnowboard. L.A.M.B., which stands for Love Angel Music Baby is Gwen Stefani's fashion line. Born like 10 years ago, I remember rocking their first sneakers. Not only do I admire Gwen since he career debuts as No Doubt's lead singer... but she always rocked a unique style of her own that, lucky us, she makes available through L.A.M.B. It is just so sad to learn that the amazing couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are in the process of divorcing. It looks like, for the sake of th...

Your head is worth investing for!

So you've got brains huh?! Well then, it may be worth looking into preserving this treasure. How about even spoiling it with a fancy helmet? Munich-based Bogner is the official outfitter of the German Olympic ski team. Founder Willy Bogner, a former Olympic skier, got his start more than 70 years ago by importing Norwegian skis. He then launched his own line of windbreakers and other fashionable outdoor apparel with his wife, Maria. The company, now run by their son Willy Bogner, Jr., 65, introduced the "Gold Rush" helmet as part of its winter line. The headgear features a shock-absorbent inner shell and suede padding that keeps your head cool and dry. This is actually Bogner's collaboration with Indigo Snow. They created the ultimate accessory, the lightweight, shock-absorbing helmet sells for $650. Indigo Snow also makes cobra and snake skin designs such as the Python pattern: But then there's the snake brown, the snake boa or the snake fire. Check them out by...
