Built for long days in serious winter weather, the Burton Reserve Gore-Tex 2L Insulated Women’s Jacket 2027 combines dependable storm protection with built-in warmth and a practical feature set designed specifically for snowboarding. Its two-layer GORE-TEX® construction provides high-level waterproofing and breathability, while 80g ThermacoreECO insulation adds warmth without making the jacket feel excessively bulky or overheated during active riding.
Designed with a regular fit, the Reserve provides room for comfortable movement and layering while maintaining a streamlined snowboard-specific silhouette. It is a versatile choice for resort riding, storm days and everyday winter use when reliable weather protection and insulation are priorities.

GORE-TEX® 2L Construction
The Reserve is built around a GORE-TEX® two-layer construction, giving it the weather protection needed for sustained exposure to snow, wind and wet conditions. Burton rates the jacket at 5/5 for waterproofing and 5/5 for breathability, making it particularly well suited to demanding resort conditions where staying dry is just as important as staying warm.
The shell uses recycled polyester plain-weave fabric, while fully taped seams help prevent moisture from working through vulnerable stitched areas. Water-resistant YKK® zippers provide another layer of protection around the jacket’s openings and pockets.
80g ThermacoreECO Insulation
Rather than relying solely on additional layers underneath, the Reserve incorporates 80g ThermacoreECO insulationdirectly into the jacket. This provides consistent synthetic warmth for cold chairlift rides and stormy days without the weight and bulk associated with heavier insulated outerwear. Burton gives the jacket a 2.15/5 warmth rating, positioning it as a relatively versatile insulated jacket that can still be used during active riding.
The nylon taffeta lining helps create a smooth interior feel and allows comfortable movement over midlayers.
Ventilation When You Need It
Insulation is useful when temperatures drop, but active riding can quickly generate excess heat. The Reserve addresses this with mesh-lined No-Snag Pit Zip™ vents, allowing riders to release heat without having to remove the jacket or stop riding.
This makes the jacket well suited to changing conditions, from slow chairlift journeys and cold morning laps through to more demanding riding when ventilation becomes important.
Snow-Specific Protection
The Reserve includes a stretch water-repellent powder skirt to help prevent snow from entering underneath the jacket during deep turns, falls or powder riding. Hypalon jacket-to-pant snaps allow the jacket and compatible Burton pants to be connected, while storage tabs keep the powder skirt neatly secured when it is not required.
Adjustable cuffs and a bungee-adjustable hem provide further opportunities to seal out cold air and snow.
Practical Pocket Layout
Burton has equipped the Reserve with an extensive selection of pockets for carrying essential items on the mountain. Zipped handwarmer pockets provide easy-access storage, while dedicated chest and forearm pockets offer additional space for smaller essentials and a lift pass.
Inside, there is an interior mesh dump pocket along with a zipped media/goggle pocket featuring a Therma-Pocket designed to help keep a device warm. An ATM pocket is also positioned inside one of the handwarmer pockets.
