What I Wear to Shred (and GREAT gift ideas for your favorite shredder)

This post is sponsored by Burton and Zappos.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… it’s fresh powder season. This means it’s time to get the boards waxed, those edges sharpened, grab your best friends and get ready to hit the mountains. And if you’re like my friends and I, this means every single weekend. In an effort to stay warm (and stylish) on the mountain, I have partnered with Zappos and Burton to show some of my favorite gear to shred in. 

 

#1: Jet Set Jacket – Light Denim 

If you’re looking for a new jacket that is versatile, lightweight, warm and with vents, this jacket is for you. The material looks like denim so it has a nice unique finish, and stands out on the mountain making you easy to spot when you’re riding with friends. If you’ve got a snowboarder or skiier in your life and looking for a good gift that will fit in with her snow sport lifestyle, this jacket is for you. The best part is that when you order through Zappos, you can get expedited shipping and receiving the jacket in just a day or two!

 

#2: Burton Midweight Long Neck

Experienced riders know that layers are key. The runs near the base of the mountain may be at one temperature, but the runs at the top can be a completely different one. The Burton Midweight Long Neck off Zappos is a great layer option. The material is a fast dry, sweat-wicking material and it comes in this adorable floral pattern. The neck can be worn as a regular turtle neck, or you can bring up the material and it is designed to be a face mask. Genius, and now I need this in every color option. 

 

#3: Burton Vida Pant 

Cute, comfortable, and lightweight… that is the Burton Vida pant from Zappos. These pants come in a gorgeous Rose Brown color, which is a great neutral when planning your outfit for the slopes. The color is just enough amidst a sea of black, but toned down to look great with just about anything. 

 

#4: Burton Chloe Beanie

We all know that helmet hair is not the cutest. When you pause for a quick drink or lunch, it’s always great to have a hat handy to cover your helmet hair and keep warm. The Burton Chloe Beanie off Zappos, is perfect for this, allowing you to stay stylish and warm with sherpa fleece lining. There are also sprinkles of color that pop really nicely with the color of the Vida Pant and the Jet Set Jacket. 

 


 

#5: Burton Gore – Tex Mitt 

I’ve always worn gloves while riding until I ordered the Burton Gore Tex Mitt. Now, it’s been all I’ve ridden in, especially on cold days. These mittens can be worn with or without the glove liners, but they do an amazing job keeping your hands nice and toasty on cold days. I’ve worn my mitts without the liner, and kept the liners in my backpack once I’m done riding and need something a little lighter. 

 

 

These 5 items from Burton are incredible to ride in because they keep you warm, they are versatile, and they keep you (or your favorite snow bunny) looking fabulous. If you order these items from Zappos, you’ll get expedited shipping (meaning in just a day or two!). I also love shopping for my Burton gear on Zappos because they have the best selection and a 365 day return policy. You can’t go wrong with these items as a last-minute gift to someone special or for yourself!
