Burton GMP Traction Snowboard Jacket Review

GMP Burton Traction Jacket
$239
Discontinued 2012
Burton's Eco Consious Lined Shell
The Burton GMP is a well made jacket with many pockets for a rider that spends his time on a dry mountain.  Burton seems to be hopping on the Patagonia band wagon and is trying to make an eco consious jacket at a higer price. It offers a lot of functionality for a 10 day a year rider to a 100 day a year rider and is well built. If you expect more wet weather then you might want to go with a more expensive shell that has better waterproofing.  Even though this a shell the brushed heather material is a bit warmer and more thick than most shell material and a bit more warm.  We are also fans of taped seams but that is expected for this price range. The GMP has one interesting feature that is new as of 2011 and tat is a vent near the collar.  It is supposed to channel out your breath so it doesn't fog up your goggles.  So far we haven't had a super cold situation to determine if this works really well but like the idea and we'll keep you posted.  Overall we wish there were more colors and the price was less expensive but all in all this is a great jacket and more importantly an eco consious jacket. We'd like to see more waterproofing for this price but all in all the GMP Traction is a good jacket.

The Good Ride Take

A look at the Burton Traction Jacket

    

 

Company Info

outerwear Details

Get maximum bang for your buck with the men’s Burton GMP Traction Jacket, a killer in any condition. As functional as it is earth-friendly, it features eco-friendly and recycled materials wherever possible—including shell fabrics, waterproof/breathable laminates and finishes, linings, shock cords, elastics, buttons, zipper pulls, labels, and artwork applications. An updated military style jacket in our classic Sig Fit , it also offers plenty of pockets for goggles, sound, stash, and hands. Fully taped DRYRIDE Durashell™ 2L fabric keeps you extra dry when the pow is deep, while a strategically engineered Dualzone ALS™ Lining (featuring different materials in different zones to keep you at just the right temp) prevents swamp out. Get your answer here.

FEATURES
Sig Fit

Our tried-and-true fit—built with room for layering, without being overly baggy. Jacket sleeves designed with a bit of extra length to fit over your gloves and keep snow out when strapping into your bindings.

All-Season Conditions

The most versatile, ranging from non-insulated shells to lightly insulated styles with up to 40G of Thermacore™. Simply add extra layers on colder days.

100% Recycled PET Dualzone ALS™ Lining

A concept first introduced to snowboarding over ten years ago, Burton’s Active Lining Systems [ALS™] are engineered to work with your body by utilizing different materials in different zones to provide the perfect amount of breathability, warmth, mobility, and comfort. For example, a closed-cell mesh in the core provides warmth and comfort while a micro cell mesh in the sides promotes breathability and provides moisture-wicking properties. In high-heat areas like your armpits, an open, macro cell mesh provides maximum ventilation so you don’t swamp out. Select styles utilize earth-friendly ALS Linings featuring recycled, eco-conscious lining materials to maximize performance while minimizing the impact on Mother Earth.

ALS
The basic package, with one material throughout for consistent warmth and breathability.

DUALZONE ALS
Found throughout the majority of our line, two different fabrics are placed in specific zones for targeted warmth and breathability.

MULTIZONE ALS
Our highest performance lining featuring three or more materials throughout for premium warmth and breathability.

Fully Taped Seams

Every seam in the jacket and pant is taped to create the ultimate foul weather seal.

Burton gmp traction board jacket

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Absolutly love this coat! I picked up the resin camo one for 75 bucks. The first day I got to wear it riding the temperature was 6 and the great wyoming wind was blowing at 60 mph but this coat kept me warm all day. With all the pockets this thing has I can take everything I need for a full day of riding and still have great comfort. I highly recommend this coat to anyone!

Burton gmp traction coat

I found the camo gmp traction for 75 dollars and took it up the mountain where the temperature was 0 with 60 mph wind and this cost kept me warm the entire time. After riding with buron coats for 10 years iv come to the conclusion that this is one of their best. It has enough pockets to carry everything I need which is absolutly great. Id recommend this coat to anyone!
