Kordan is a Brooklyn trio who mesh lush textures, pulsating beats, and somber melodies to project dreams of bleak, dismal cities in a holographic future. Their album, The Longing, depicts a story of love in a hazy metropolis circa the year 2036, where the sky is tuned to a dead channel, the city glimmers with neon dreams, and holograms of lovers drift away. Hypnotizing backround music -flying through the snow.

When it’s puking snow, waterproof/breathable shell pants are mandatory. So is venting. The Burton Hellbrook Pant combines both in a highly stormproof design that gets the Burton team through everything from gripping Alaskan spines to bulletproof pipes, and hikes to far-reaching stashes. Test-I-Cool zippered vents are like a/c for your lower extremities. The street-inspired Slouch Fit gives you proper sag without the plumber’s smile thanks to a lower rise, straight leg styling, and slight tailoring at the knee.

Loose-fitting for layering, with plenty of pockets so you never need to visit the lodge, the Burton Cargo Pant is a tried-and-true classic shell pant, ready for any weather.  Like all Burton pants, it’s stacked with standard features, including venting options for hiking, reinforced cuffs that can be elevated above mud, tweak-friendly articulated knees, and an audio port in the pocket so you can still listen to music when wearing just a hoodie. 

The answer for all conditions with lightweight, eco-minded insulation and a longer, more tailored fit that jumps from snow to street. Progressive eco-conscious insulation, bold style, and a tailored fit make the Burton Hilltop Jacket a modern benchmark for the classic hoodie look.  Ideal for every day of the season, it goes the extra mile with a stacked list of features, included welded detailing, goggle/sound pocket, and removable waist gaiter, for comfort and convenience from in-town to on-trail.
