Burton Puts Snowboard Jeans On Sale this October

Written by Pat's Papers | Monday, 22 March 2010 6:16 AM


USA Today says the hottest thing on the slopes right now are those snowboard pants that look like jeans -  the ones that members of the US team wore during the Olympics. And now, if you’re willing to spend $250, they can be yours. Burton just announced it will start selling the specialty pants next October.  But you’ll have to track down your own flannel jacket to complete the look - it’s not for sale.  Even though the jeans look ratty, they are actually very advances, says the paper, using a technique called “photo sublimation” to print pictures of actual jeans onto the ultra waterproof material.
