This Is the Most Stylish Technical Rain Jacket We’ve Seen in a While

Made using Gore-Tex’s highly waterproof and breathable pro shell, Burton’s B-17 rain jacket boasts all the tech specs needed to get through a downpour.

When it comes to rain jackets “technically-advanced” and “stylish” shouldn’t have to be mutually-exclusive descriptors; they aren’t in Burton’s B-17. Burton constructed the coat on a GORE-TEX Pro three-layer foundation, a shell material that provides the highest level of waterproofing and breathability. But the rain jacket isn’t all high-tech; it boasts Burton’s trademark laid-back style, too. It’s cut slightly longer and features a notched hem and a yoked upper that’s lined with mesh to allow excess heat to escape off the back. But none of that would matter if the B-17 couldn’t take on a springtime deluge, which it can.
