The Burton Radial Jacket seems to be sticking around and expanding.  For 2018 the Radial comes in the same model, insulated, as before and in a shell.  This is the medium insulated Radial and I usually wear large but even at a medium, the helmet compatibility is much better than it was in 2017 and 2016.  Other than that it’s very similar to the 2017 model. I’m more into the Shell version but if you want a little more warmth the insulated is a great call too and it’s one of the few Gore-Tex Jackets we have come across with mid-level insulation.  Most either come with a lot or in a shell so it’s not going to cook you if the weather gets warm.
