Burton Launch Snowboard Jacket Review

launch-dot
$179 Shell
$189 Insulated
A good entry level but functional jacket.
The Burton Launch isn't going to light fire to the snowboard jacket world but it's a well made good jacket for the price.  It offers a lot of functionality for the 10-15 day a year rider and enough waterproofing do deal with most conditions you want to ride in.  If you expect more weather then you might want to go with a more expensive shell that has better waterproofing but for the average weekend warrier this does a great job. For 2012 the breathability was increased.  Again this is a shell to act as the weatherproof outer layer so don't think this is going to be warm.  If you want insulation then go with the Insulated Launch Jacket that will allow you to handle more weather with less layering underneath.

The Good Ride Take

The Good Ride Take on Burton

Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies.  Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf.  They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win.

The positives- Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company.  Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry.  Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better.   Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company.  They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry.  They also have great clothing.
The Negatives- Because Burton spends so much money on sponsorship and tech they have to pass this cost along to the products they sell.   They relentlessly continue to jack up the prices every year.  You are almost always going to get a good product from Burton’s higher end line but some mid to low level products don’t stack up to the competition in the same price range.   Just remember it’s not always good because it hast the Burton label on it.
