2024 Burton Gore-Tex Ballast Short Pants
Go ahead, tell yourself you're giving us the run-around, call up your aunt Lucy and brag about the bargain you just got. We understand. The Men's Burton GORE‑TEX Ballast Pant is too good to give away, but everyone deserves the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY® promise of GORE-SEAM taped GORE-TEX fabric and the security of YKK® water-resistant zippers. Add two cargo pockets for stashing all the cash you saved, plus critical features like reinforced cuffs with elevators to protect against mud and abrasion, plus zippered vents, and a lifetime warranty, and these pants are literally a steal.
*Available in Regular and Tall specific models.*
Face Fabric
- GORE-TEX 2-Layer Printed Polyester 150D Plain Weave Fabric
- PFC-Free DWR – This eco-friendly alternative maintains premium water-repellent performance, while reducing the harmful environmental impacts of conventional Durable Water Repellent (DWR) chemicals.
Membrane
- GORE-TEX 2L – Ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities, the GORE-TEX membrane is bonded to the outer fabric only. The benefit: the separate lining inside improves wearing comfort and versatility.
Lining Material
- Living Lining® – Cold mornings to sunny afternoons, fast turns to slow chairlifts—a day on the hill is filled with extremes. Burton’s Living Lining offers automatic climate control without added bulk or weight, so the one thing you can count on is consistent comfort. When you’re warm, breathable pores on the Living Lining expand to release excess warmth and prevent overheating. When you’re cold, breathable pores on the Living Lining shrink to trap body heat and keep you warmer for longer.
- Mapped with Embossed Taffeta and Mesh – Taffeta offers a crisp, high-end feel that is often woven using a mix of synthetic fibers. Its unique hand feel and sheen make it ideal for printing and embossing, and like all Burton linings, it wicks and breathes easy to keep you dry from the inside out.
Fit
- Regular Fit – What some might call a normal fit, regular-fitting garments are not too tight or too baggy, and can be worn over warmer mid-layer pieces with ease.
- Short - Shortened 2" [Short Inseam: 30.5"]
Vents
- Mesh-Lined Test-I-Cool Venting
Features
- Anti-Scuff Cuffs – Cuffs reinforced with durable Cordura® fabric and contoured shaping for added abrasion resistance.
- Cuff Elevators – Pull on the hidden ripcord or use the snaps located on the back of the pant leg to elevate your cuffs and protect them from nastiness and abrasion. Featured on all men’s and women’s Burton pants.
- Fully Taped Seams with GORE-SEAM® Tape – GORE’s unique seam sealant tape seals each and every seam to provide a completely waterproof and liquid resistant fabric.
- Back Pockets - Hook-and-loop closure
- Hand Pockets - zippered microfleece hand-warmer pockets
