Burton Expedition 1/4-Zip Top - Women's

Pros: 

Burton’s Expedition base layers look like loungewear and are as cozy as pajamas. Truth be told, the Expedition Quarter Zip and Expedition Pant are surprisingly good-lookin’: were it not for the thumbholes, you’d never be able to tell the Quarter Zip was intended to be worn underneath a Gore-Tex jacket on a nuking storm day. Likewise, the Expedition Pant has a zippered pocket and fly, defined waistband, and a loose, casual fit that means you can actually wear them around in public without worrying that you’re going to get fined for public indecency. Both are crafted from DRYRIDE Ultrawick Expedition 300—a fleecy, stretchy, heavyweight wool treated with an anti-microbial finish—so they don’t just look good and feel good, but they perform well in deep powder, too. 

Cons: 

Too heavy for use on warmer days or backcountry missions. 

Tester Comment: 

“I can wear the Expeditions all day and all night. In fact, I have—many times. I’ve worn these to sleep, rolled out of bed, thrown on my shred gear, and hustled for first chair in these bad boys. I love the weight of the fabric and the overall look, too.

Bottom Line: 

Ultra-comfy and damn good-looking, Burton’s base layers are a dream for resort riding and couch surfing alike.
