Burton Emblem snowboard socks Product Review


At the end of the day, a sock is a sock, but Burton socks are different. It provides support under the arch of your foot, and across the top of your foot over the ankle, as well as providing extra padding on your shins.
These Burton socks kept my feet warm and dry, whilst wicking away sweat, and made my feet look good in the process.

Burton Bullet Tool Product Review


I don’t know any snowboarder who doesn’t own a burton bullet tool, the single most useful tool, that’s idiot proof.
It’s got a screw driver, with four different heads, a small spanner and an arm to give you more leverage whilst fitting comfortably into your coat jacket. I must have used my burton bullet tool every day, to make minor adjustments depending on the snow conditions.
If you haven’t already got one, get one!

Burton super pipe gloves Product Review


There’s nothing worse than having to take your gloves off in the minuses to adjust your bindings or re-tighten your boot laces: Enter Burton super pipe gloves.
Although these gloves say super pipe they can be used anywhere, I used them on piste, off piste, in the park and for après ski. They keep your hands warm, and wick away sweat from your palms, as well as being well ventilated.
As the superpipe gloves fit close to your hand it means you get great dexterity which helps if anything goes tits up with your board on the mountain.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll be carrying your Burton Bullet tool with you, and the super pipe gloves, enable you to keep your gloves on, whilst fixing your gear.

Burton Moto snowboard boots Product Review


The Burton Moto is an intermediate level snowboard boot, aimed more at all mountain freestyle riders as they are a softer, and more comfortable boot than the stiffer free ride boots.
Year in I’ve used Burton Moto snowboard boots as they are comfortable and give a relaxed fit, as well as keeping your feet toasty. With the speedzone laces on the inner boot and outer shell, it makes getting your boots on super quick and easy.
After riding a full day, either on the slopes or in the park, I just keep my boots on, and enjoyed some après ski, so all in all a very good versatile boot, at a great price.

Burton Custom snowboard bindings Product Review


The single best thing about Burton bindings above other bindings is the Cap strap. This piece of genius tech means that you get so much more response in your transitions from toe to heel.
The Burton Custom bindings, for me provided me with all day comfort and response at a great price, and happen to be the binding of choice for Shaun white, which can’t be a bad thing.
I would definatly recommend the Burton Custom bindings to anyone who enjoys all mountain freestyle riding, as the bindings are forgiving and give great support, as well as being easy on the wallet.

Burton Dominant Product Review


I bought my Burton dominant snowboard because it’s aimed at an intermediate rider who wants an all mountain freestyle board that can handle itself in the park. The dominant handles perfectly on groomed piste, and when I fancied hitting the park, it’s awesome for rails, boxes and jumps.
As it’s a super soft board, with twin tipped, directional flex, it makes it real easy to ride switch and go bigger of jumps with huge pop in the tail,
I found it really easy to progress to harder piste and carving turns, whilst it still remains the best board I’ve tried in the park. Its not a specific powder so if you enjoy back country riding then this boards not for you, however if there’s a few feet of powder just off the beaten track, the Burton Dominant will thrash about with the best of them.
