Description
The Burton Skimmer 2027 is a full-featured insulated jacket built for young riders — from first-timers to growing shredders. Designed with the same technical intent as adult riding gear, it handles real winter conditions while staying versatile enough for everyday wear beyond the mountain.
Built to Perform
The Skimmer is constructed from DRYRIDE™ 2-layer recycled polyester or nylon with a 10,000mm waterproof rating and 5,000g breathability, backed by fully taped seams that seal out wind, snow, and moisture. Inside, 100g ThermacoreEco insulation keeps warmth consistent without bulk, and a nylon taffeta lining adds comfort through long days out. The regular fit is engineered with the Room-to-Grow™ system, which extends the sleeves by two inches to keep up with growth spurts without buying a new jacket every season.
Who It's For
This jacket is made for kids who ride regularly and need gear that won't quit halfway through the season. The helmet-compatible hood, built-in powder skirt with jacket-to-pant snaps, adjustable cuffs, and glove attachment loops mean it's truly mountain-ready — not just ski-trip casual. The insulated media pocket and sleeve pass pocket mean less fumbling and more riding.

What does the Room-to-Grow™ feature actually do? It allows the sleeves to be extended by up to two inches, giving the jacket extra lifespan as your child grows — no need to size up just for sleeve length.
