The Good Ride TakeThe 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 goodride "bombproof" comment is completely true. weather has no effect on the jacket. took a spill that should have left me with cuts all over my body and the jacket is untouched but somehow my left arm is covered in slices.not sure if the impact pushed my sleeve up or that the damage was transferred through the material. if i had to guess, this thing is almost indestructible on top of godly |
