Fit

The Burton Gore-Tex 3L Treeline Jacket is a little on the baggy side of normal but that is good for adding several layers under this shell.

Construction

It’s Gore-Tex so its usually very good but this jacket seems very reliable.

Waterproofing/Breathability

The Burton Gore-Tex 3L Treeline Jacket is very waterproof and only a shade behind Gore-Tex Pro. I have found that 3L does last a little longer than 2L Gore-Tex. This is the kind of jacket you can rain ride in. The breathability is pretty good here but not exceptional.

Hood/Helmet Compatibilty

Excellent helmet compatibility. You can put a hood over a medium or large helmet and still have great head movement to check your six.

Cuff/Glove Compatibility

The Burton Gore-Tex 3L Treeline Jacket has a nice wide cuff so any glove can fit under it without having to fiddle with it. You can tighten the cuff pretty tight too if not wearing gloves when you aren’t snowboarding with it.

Pit Zips

Meshed and they don’t open up much but most like it that way.

Pockets

The Burton Gore-Tex 3L Treeline Jacket has 3 main pockets. 1 average sized chest pocket and 2 Large hand warmer pockets. Then there is a little open mesh pocket in the chest pocket and 2 Goggle/skin pockets inside. They are better for goggles but skins do work.

Powder Skirt

Detachable so I personally like that. I don’t use powder skirts much or at all. It has a good fit around the waist though.

Conclusion

So this is a hard jacket to recommend at $400 for most that don’t see wet weather but an easy one to recommend if you do. It’s hard to find a jacket this price in 3 layer Gore-Tex.
