My jacket looks really cool, it has barely any wrinkles and looks like a suit lol! Anyways on the inside of my jacket on the right side there is a headphone symbol with a really tiny line hole. The opening is big enough to probably fit a quarter but Idk what it does. Even came with a headphone symbol on the tags of my jacket. Whats it do?
but it isn’t big enough..
I got a ipod nano and in order for that to fit it would need to be twice as big.

Its supposed to fit the cord, not the actual ipod or mp3 player.

I’m guessing the symbol is on left side of the jacket if your wearing it and looking down. There should be a pocket, either right next to the zipper, on the left side near the middle of the jacket, or a pocket on the inside of the jacket.

I have a north face jacket and a DC jacket and both have the same symbol and the almost hidden pocket is on both of them.

The jacket is flannel fabric with what I think is some type of nylon fabric on the lower part of the back to sit on and not get wet. It has the Burton name and states "established 1977" with a picture of a snowboarder with a classic board with the tail "v".

A used jacket – I would say a maximum of $75 if it is a good color and not out of style. I would list it on eBay or Craigslist to sell it.

Good Luck

Hi I was just wondering If I brought in my jacket to a tailor since its not the same material if they can somehow make it smaller.

They should be able to. If not, just look in the yellow pages under alterations. You’ll find someone who can alter it to fit you.

do you have to wear a special jacket to snowboard and why?
cant i just wear a normal one?

A special jacket is waterproof so when you fall the snow wont get your jacket wet. A normal one would get wet when you fall then you are going down the mountain in a wet jacket.

Do they have to be dry cleaned or can I safely wash it at home in the washing machine???…Thanks…Tom Science 4

I wash all my waterproof jackets in Nickwax Tech Wash. This is much better for the garment than regular detergent. It is available at most ski and snowboard shops that sell jackets.

Using mild detergent is OK if you don’t have Tech Wash. Just follow the directions on the tag of the jacket. If you don’t have the washing directions, best bet is to wash and rinse in cold.

Tumble dry on low or no heat as heat can damage the synthetic material. Using fabric softner may cause the waterproof membrane to get clogged up and stop working.

If you need to re-waterproof, try washing the jacket with Nickwax TX Direct once the jacket has been washed with Tech Wash or detergent. It comes in wash-in and spray-on varieties…the wash-in is better.

I have a pair of ski pants that I use for snowmaking, patrolling, running lifts, and in the backcountry. They are about eight years old and I wash them in Tech Wash 2-3 times a season. They are still very waterproof and I plan to use them until they can’t be repaired anymore….I beat the snbt out of them.

I have this jacket: http://www.trails.com/gear/product.aspx?pid=21609

The green liner is much brighter than the picture shows, but now I’m wondering what pants I should put with it besides plain black pants… what do you guys think? My opinion is that going black head-to-toe seems a little strange since most people are in these flashy get-ups, but of course, correct me if I’m wrong.

Could put white pants with them and it will look good… or go opposite of green and put a blue or red pants with it and be "Out there" lol

hi im 14 and have been boarding for a few years and got pretty good. im looking for some new gear, i know the brands and everything but i am stuck on what colors i want. i need to know some colors for a jacket and pants combo.thanks

i rock a brown and white jacket with tan pants with thin brown lines with a brown hat and blue bandanna. But i would tell you find ur own style and find what you think looks sick. It always feels better and looks better when you got ur own personal style going.

So im looking at a Burton snowboard jacket online and next to the information for the insulation it says Thermacore™ Insulation [40G Throughout] but i don’t know what that means. It also says 2-Layer Coated Fabric [10,000MM, 5,000G]. Please tell me what this means.

The insulation is the weight of the loft, so 40 grams per inch (or centimeter or whatever). The heavier the loft the more per inch there is, meaning an increased ability to insulate.

the 2 layer fabric is part of the waterproofing technology so 10,000 mm waterproofing, 5,000 breathability. It’s how much water pressure the jacket can support before it can’t take it anymore and absorbs the water, followed by it’s ability to let moisture (from snowmelt or sweat against your body evaporate away.

40 grams is pretty lite insulation. Heavy down jackets will be up around 500-600 grams. as far as waterproofing, 10,000 is pretty standard amongst quality jackets. I’ve seen 15, 20, and even 30,000, but over 15 is usually overkill. The breathability rating would be nice if it’s a little higher, but 5,000 isn’t terrible. You generally won’t see lower than that on a good jacket though.
