Jeff Baker – General Manager
686 Woodland Jacket: For those who want to wear your favorite flannel to the resort but actually stay dry and warm, the Woodland is for you. Insulated and with 10k waterproofing, this jacket is the perfect blend of style and function. Although it comes in four plaid color options, the Oxblood is my pick with the most badass jacket name on the market! $249.95 
Burton Toddlers’ One Piece: If you have kids, consider the Burton Todders’ One Piece. It’s a game changer–gone are the days of whiny kids with snow up their jacket or down their pants. And with a variety of colors and patterns, there’s nothing cuter than a mini shredder coming down the hill. $154.95 
Burton Gore Tex Powline Jacket: This jacket checks all my boxes. It’s Gore Tex, aka waterproof. It’s not too baggy or tight. It’s simply designed (with multiple color options). Comes with a lifetime warranty. And is priced right (especially for a Gore Tex jacket). $299.95

Rome Riding Fleece: Sometimes it gets cold outside. Of course, plenty of fleeces can do the job, no doubt, but the Rome Riding Fleece is my go-to. Being a Wu-Tang fan, the yellow and black got me, and I also like how Rome incorporated a hood and armpit vents into this fleece. $139.95 
686 Men’s GLCR Stretch Gore-Tex Dispatch Bib: This bib gives me the reassurance that when I go down, I’m staying dry. I don’t have time for raspberries and digging snow out of my pants after a tumble–I’m already slow at buckling my bindings, so I don’t need anything else slowing me down. The stretch in the Dispatch Bib is a game changer and makes hiking and poking out tricks much more comfortable. Knowing I’m staying Gore-Tex dry makes this my go-to. $439.95

686 Men’s GLCR Gore-Tex Core Shell Jacket: This jacket looks awesome, it fits awesome, and most importantly, it functions awesome. Gore-Tex is worth every penny if you spend a lot of time shredding the Northeast, like I do. $279.95 
Rome Riding Snap Hoodie: Technical jackets are great and all, but sometimes, you just wanna feel all casual when you’re riding, or hanging out with your buds. The Rome Riding Snap Hoodie is the ultimate top for those fun, slushy days, or grabbing pizza in the village with the homeys. $99.95 
686 Smarty 3-in-1 Cargo Pant: I got a pair of these in like 1998. I wore the outer pant to shreds, but kept the comfy sweats for years afterward. Literally the best money I’ve ever spent on any snowboard gear. $219.95

My favorite thing about the 686 Gore-Tex Willow Jacket is the way it fits. 686’s new Performance Fit, designed in partnership with team rider Hana Beaman, is comfy and easy to move in. The Gore-Tex outer is reliable in the most inclement weather and the Willow comes with all the detailed features that 686 is known for. $319.95 
Burton Women’s Multipath Crewneck Fleece: A great, lightweight midlayer that can perform triple duty (and more): wear it for extra warmth when snowboarding, throw it on during shoulder season when running, biking, camping, or just hanging outside, and put it on when running errands or hanging out at home. The grid-pattern fleece on the inside of the sweatshirt is breathable, comfy–and not bulky. All in all, this is a classic crewneck sweatshirt infused with a bit of tech that goes wherever you need it to. $94.95 
Roxy Ritual Jacket: The Ritual pays homage to Roxy’s roots, taking inspiration from Roxy’s heritage in the 90s through colorblocking and thoughtful details, while Roxy’s WarmFlight and DryFlight technologies make sure you stay warm and dry. I saw Annika Morgan wearing this recently and she just looked sick. $229.95
