Built to Last
Workwear brand Carhartt teamed up with Burton Snowboards to produce some extra tough outerwear this season. Given the hard working heritage of both brands, it was no surprise that both sides put in a good day’s work to bring out the best features and qualities in this collection. Constructed on Carhartt‘s most recognizable outerwear, the Traditional, the Burton x Carhartt WIP Jacket and pants are beefed up with a double layer of Gore-Tex and 13 mm Gore-Seam tape to seal off any seams. The Burton x Carhartt WIP Collection is available now at Burton flagship stores around globe and select Carhartt retail locations.

Simple, Authentic, Fun.
Jambox is a D.I.Y. snowboard collective based in Minnesota. With a profound love for art and design, they focus on producing short-runs of shirts, beanies and hoodies that are localy sourced and handcrafted in the Midwest. Every piece is unique and hand-numbered, so get them before they’re all gone.

Turn your kid into a snowboarding Jedi
Kids get all the cool stuff these days. Burton Snowboards have collaborated with Lucasfilm Ltd. to drop some Star Wars themed Chopper kids boards this season. There are eight different top sheet graphics in this series that were inspired by the movies. Get’em up before the creepy old dudes scoop them up for their basement collections.

 

Rad Lobster.
Lobster Snowboards is new on the scene, an independent board company created by Hallador and Eiki Helgason. With a focus on Jib and Park riding, the boards have a unique shape, some interesting tech behind them, and a branding all their own. Some shops have even banned some of their boards based on the graphics, so you know they are definitely on to something! Peep Lobster’s website here.

Once and done.
Some new binding tech is set to hit this Winter. Bon Hiver might be a new name to most, but they have spent a good deal of time developing what soon could be the quickest binding system on the mountain. Their Freebase system allows you to strap-in at the base of the mountain once for the entire day and never have to worry about undoing any of your hard work getting in. The 13 Series and 18 Series use magnets to pull the binding and board plate together, while the 11 Series requires some simple manual effort to achieve alignment. Available for pre-order, these are looking to be an interesting alternative to strapping in!

Let’s do work
For more than 100 years, Red Wing Shoe Company has been crafting purpose-built work footwear for specific jobs. Modern craftsmen trust Red Wing to deliver premium quality work boots and shoes with the features, fit, and service required for their demanding jobs. It’s no suprise that this attention to detail and craftmanship has been recognized by Burton Snowboards, for their upcoming 2011/12 season collaboration. Both brands are known for their hard work and pride themselves innovators of their respective disciplines. The model is based on the Red Wing Classic Work Boot and uses original Red Wing leather on the upper. Easily something to look forward to in the coming season. More images after the jump.

 

Bringing it back.
Arnette is proud to announce it has added an elite snowboard team in support of the 2011 re-launch of its snow goggle program. Joining the family is the legendary Devun Walsh who will serve as Team Captain, along with young guns Zac Marben, Dustin Craven and Sage Kotsenburg rounding out the global squad.

“With the resurgence of our goggle program we hand-picked a team of four guys that truly embody what Arnette stands for, each in his own unique way,” says Arnette Global Brand Manager Joe Freitag. “Their attitude, style, originality and overall love for snowboarding bring them together to make one of the most influential teams out there. 2011 is going to be an epic year, and we’re very excited to have such an amazing group of guys representing Arnette on and off the hill.”

Arnette’s new 2011 goggles – the Series 3 and Mercenary – will debut at SIA (booth #1135) in Denver, CO, followed by ISPO (booth #A2.312) in Munich, Germany. Retail prices start at USD $65.00, and they will be sold at finer snowboard shops worldwide beginning Fall 2011.
