Men’s Burton Reserve GORE‑TEX 2L Insulated Jacket
Product Overview
A go‑anywhere, stay‑warm shell that blends high weather protection with targeted insulation. The Burton Reserve GORE‑TEX 2L Insulated Jacket is engineered for riders who demand a one‑jacket solution — stormproof, warm, nimble — from chairlift to peak line without compromise.
Key Features & Technology
-
GORE‑TEX 2‑Layer Shell — fully waterproof, windproof and breathable, forming the reliable outer barrier.
-
Mapped Synthetic Insulation — strategically placed insulation in core zones to trap heat while maintaining flexibility in arms and movement areas.
-
Living Lining® + Soft Taffeta Backer — adaptive lining system that opens or closes pores based on body temperature, boosting breathability when active.
-
Fully Taped Seams with GORE‑SEAM® Tape — all critical seams sealed to lock out moisture and wind.
-
StormForm Fulltime Contour™ Hood — helmet‑compatible and shape‑adjustable for optimal fit and coverage.
-
YKK® Water‑Resistant Zippers — robust hardware that stands up to snow, ice, and repeated use.
-
Mesh‑Lined Pit Zip Vents — underarm vents for efficient heat dump when pushing hard.
-
Powder Skirt with Jacket‑to‑Pant Interface — seals out snow while integrating with compatible pants.
-
Zippered Chest & Handwarmer Pockets — fleece‑lined where relevant, placed for usability even with gear on.
-
Interior Dump Pocket + Media / Goggle Pocket — roomy and ergonomically placed for small gear and essentials.
-
Articulated, Movement‑Driven Patterning — cut to move with you, not against you.
-
Reflective Accents — subtle visibility in low light conditions.
-
Lifetime Warranty — built to endure with brand support for repairs or replacement.
Why It’s Premium
This jacket isn’t a compromise between warmth and weather protection; it merges both into a balanced, performance‑driven package. With insulation in crucial zones and a shell that keeps the elements at bay, the Reserve Insulated sits at the sweet spot between full shell and heavy parka. It’s ideal for riders who want versatility, durability, and tech that delivers under real mountain conditions.

-
If you prefer layering with heavy puffy jackets, consider sizing up.
-
Sleeve length and drop hem are optimized for riding posture and coverage.

The cut allows freedom for movement, while keeping a streamlined silhouette when strapped in.

Care Guide
-
Use a technical outerwear detergent — never standard laundry soap or softeners.
-
Close all zippers, snaps, flaps, and Velcro before washing.
-
Wash on a warm, gentle cycle and rinse thoroughly to flush residues.
-
Tumble dry low (or use a dryer with damp cloth) to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
-
Reapply DWR when water stops beading — use spray‑on or wash‑in treatment.
-
Spot clean stains with a soft cloth and mild soap — avoid aggressive scrubbing.
-
Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storage.
-
Store loosely or hang — avoid long periods of compression.
-
Repair minor tears or worn seam areas promptly with patches or seam sealer to maintain waterproof integrity.
