Burton Snowboards
The company was one of the first to start producing snowboards. It was its founder, Jake Burton, who first developed a prototype of the modern board. He tested his device and realized that it made riding down snow much more comfortable and helped maintain balance better. In 1977, at just 23 years old, he set up production on his own and gradually made snowboards popular in the States.
Burton became the world’s first snowboard factory, and today it is the largest and most famous snowboard brand in the world. Not only beginners want to buy Burton, but many professional snowboarders as well. Prices for them start at $400 and go up to $1500. There are also special models like the Throwback Snowboard, items with history, snowboards made the way they were made in the 60s. They are much simpler, they do not even have bindings, and they are controlled using a handle attached to the nose on a sturdy rope. Once, this was exactly what the first Burton snowboard (BB1) was like. Today, such Burton models in the USA cost only $150 (in Russia — from 12500 rubles). They are popular among those who have already tried everything and want to learn something new, and also, especially, among those who are just starting their journey of getting to know snowboarding.
But mostly the brand’s products are snowboards with the famous Burton bindings, made not of wood but of special impact-resistant plastic designed for decades of use. Ultra-modern, with interesting prints. Burton snowboards set the trend that everyone else follows afterward. Even by the style of the board on the slope, you can usually tell who has a stylish Burton and who has something boring or excessively bright and full of kitsch.
Today, Burton products are sold in 4600 stores worldwide. Of these, 1580 are located in the USA. The Burton snowboard lineup is divided into four categories. These are:
Freeride — for big mountains;
Freestyle — for versatile riding;
Carving — for carving (riding on the edge of the snowboard) on mountain slopes;
Park — for various freestyle disciplines, like half-pipe and park.
Even easier is buying products in the official Burton online store. When choosing snowboards, all the necessary filters will be on the left there. You will be able to specify exactly what you need: boards for beginners, intermediate level, or professionals, heavily cambered or flat options, sizes (from 100 to 170W). And then all that will remain is to choose the most attractive design.
While other brands that were more famous at the time, including Nike and Adidas, followed old trends and spent many years wondering whether they should invest money in a new direction, Burton were simply making history by supplying people with everything they needed for riding. Today, snowboarding is recognized worldwide, it has become an Olympic sport, and Burton is the leader of an entire huge industry valued at several billion dollars.
Burton clothing and footwear for snowboarding
The brand specializes in products for snowboarders, mountain lovers, and speed enthusiasts. It produces winter clothing and warm boots. The company's main store is located in the town of Burlington, Vermont, right at the foot of the mountain. Snowboards and some of the clothing are also made there, including Burton jackets.
Burton clothing in America costs much less than in stores in Russia. In the USA, Burton jackets cost $150-$230 on average, while in Russia they are sold for at least 19 thousand rubles. Pullovers in America cost $130-$150 (in Russia — 12 thousand rubles). Insulated pants — $55. Sweaters — $65-$109. Overall, in the Russian Federation prices are 20-30% higher than in America, which is not all that much, but it still consistently comes to 3-7 thousand rubles.
Special Burton boots cost even more; after all, they are some of the most famous snowboarding boots in the world. Their price in the USA starts at $199 and goes up to $379. At the same time, the same boots in Russia are sold for 36 000 rubles. That's $484. Buying one pair in America saves more than a hundred dollars!
Burton also owns several other popular footwear, clothing, and accessories brands. Including:
Anon Optics — goggles for snowboarders;
R.E.D. — helmets and body protection;
Gravis — footwear;
Analog — outerwear.
Burton also recently bought the Special Blend, Foursquare, and Forum brands, the jeans manufacturer Jeenyus, and the company that produces surfing goods, Channel Islands. Some of the products from these brands can be found on the official Burton website in America.
Burton Backpacks
The company produces many accessories. Including bags, warm socks, hats for snowy weather, gloves, and scarves. A few years ago, Burton watches gained popularity, with durable straps, water-resistant and unafraid of drops. And Burton backpacks are in a category of their own — travel, “snow” (that’s what they’re called!) and children’s. Durable, ergonomic, and unafraid of the worst weather. With these, you can head to the mountains for six months, climb peaks, ride down slopes, and go kayaking, and nothing will happen to them.
The brand’s catalog features several dozen backpacks priced from $40 to $120. Conveniently, the name of each adult model includes its capacity. And by the appearance of the product, you can immediately see what it is designed for: hikes lasting many months, a half-day walk in the forest, or simply carrying things to school so that nothing gets torn.
