Burton Layers: Overall ImpressionsChristmas came early this year, kids. In an earlier post, I touched upon what I ordered from Burton. Well, the clothes are here… annnnd they’re fabulous. Burton baselayers are made with DRYRIDE Ultrawick fabric so they’ll dry faster, wick away moisture and avoid smelling like onions dipped in awful. Just so you know, sizing runs BIG. I always go with a medium. I got 2 out of the 3 in medium and they were huge – exchanged them for a small. ***Warning: Corny photos ahead.*** Burton Player Hooded Full-Zip LOVE this hoodie. The color is beautiful! There’s some embroidery on the back, but nothing crazy. It has awesome thumb-holes (aka: thumb-ies!!). The sleeves are a great length – I hate when sleeves ride up or don’t sit around your wrist/hand area. The torso’s length is super long, too. Burton says it’s so the shirt doesn’t un-tuck when you’re strapping in. Whatever the reason, I love it. It looks good with just about everything. Super versatile. It is thin… definitely not your typical hoodie thickness, but that’s good for layering. Oh, and it’s stretchy, too. Burton Player Flannel This shirt is ADORABLE. It’s so weird! You’d never know it was made with DRYRIDE fabric – it feels just like your typical flannel shirt. The torso isn’t very fitted – it’s feminine, but not super tight like a typical button down blouse would be. The sleeves are an average length, torso is long. (Cute with a pair of skinny jeans and dare I say… Uggs?) NO give in the fabric. This is where this layer differs from the other two. It’s only downside are the cuffs… WAY too tight. I’ll keep mine unbuttoned as streetwear, buttoned when layering. The color is gorgeous, too. Burton Lightweight Crew This is the one I originally got in a small. It fits tight like under armour with a little less stretch. The length in the sleeves and torso is good. I really like this layer in particular because of the neckline. In my opinion, the print is the best of the 3 offered. BONUS non-layering hoodie: Boundary in Curacao. This hoodie is long and luscious. Colors are awesome, too. Done.
