If you want a top quality versatile lightweight parka this might be it.  The Burton "Covert" [and "Dunmore" below] has technical features.  Pit zips, high tech breathability and temperature adjustment capability, non-bulky insulation, snow skirt, a ton of pockets, and a technical hood.  Quality in these Burton parkas is excellent.   

These are meant for high exertion snowboarding.  I'll make the case the Burton is also a great tactical parka too.  Check out those cool cams colors, they are perfect and give the coat a 2nd Cool.  All with be gone quick so don't mess around if you see one you like.  These models don't last long and they're always superseded year by year.   

Sizing is generous which is ideal for the intended uses we talk about inside the video.  With its lightweight Thermolite insulation, DryRide 2 layer waterproof fabric, and seam taping this is a legit outdoor snow parka ready for high exertion activities.  And you won't beat those colors.  And it's still high value for the quality delivered.  Usually expect to pay around $300+ for a GoreTex parka with these features...and that's without insulation.  

A highly recommended versatile and top quality outer layer option.

Already pulled the trigger on the Moerdeng, but no regrets there. I'd be more willing to go higher end if I anticipated heavier use, but the value option suits my needs a lot more in this case. That being said, the Lowland Camo looks amazing. I might have grabbed one if it wasn't already gone in my size. Lucky for my wallet I guess.

I remember Burton from my snowboarding days. They used to make high quality stuff, I'm assuming they still do. Hope to do some snowboarding this winter after almost a decade of not doing it lol.

Eric J Beggs

Changed my mind, got this one instead of the Moerdang. Love this so much, and reviewing clothes, Nutn? Must be a good one!

Todd Strelka

That Burton parka is high quality. They make excellent snowboards too. I love that camo color! It's the perfect soldier boy coat.

Connor Murphy

Nice, you're really crankin' out the content, Nutn. I recently got a Kuhl Impakt softshell jacket and it's the best softshell I've ever had. I highly recommend to anyone in the market for that style of jacket.

bcbrin

As a tall guy, Amazon's return policy is great for ordering clothes when you're not quite sure how a brand will fit. Also, loving the Crocks!

Jon Doe

Lol. Lovin the intro. Thanks for sharing!!

luca bid

i love the clothing vids, nice to see.

Scout154

Love the clothing reviews Nutn! We Want More reviews like this!

Ryan Reese

I just checked it out on Amazon. It literally comes in about 45 different colors/designs. 😳

Sixbrix

I’ve had 2 Burton parkas, both Excellent and lasted 10+ years of daily use. One still is in the closet as a backup. I now do an Arktis B315(also excellent though a bit too technical with every feature, pocket you could imagine).

The Nutnfancy Project

You will like this parka I think. Really excellent features...and if you don't you can send it back easy. We're keeping ours, I'm wearing it this cold AM while running the dogness (22ºF)

The Nutnfancy Project

Other than its cost, you can't go wrong with Kuhl. Super high quality, intelligently designed, and handsome coats. Mrs has one and loves it!

The Nutnfancy Project

Great inpu, thanks Josten. That doesn't surprise on the durability, Burton does a good job on these.

GrayMurse

Great video nutn'! We want more like this. I'm willing to bet most of us have burned through various jackets over time and it's great to see you reviewing them! My new favorite is my Milwaukee softshell heated jacket. Got it in grey, blends in and looks neat in clean in crowds/social situations but is heavy enough to work in the shop or take out hunting, ice fishing, etc. The battery packs interchange with my other tools and can charge my phone/other devices. Slim enough to fit under a heavy parka and it kept me warm during hours if sitting still in -40° temps last year. It's a bit heavy and expensive for most people but it works well in my system!

Josh P.

Its 9:52am next morning and theres only a hand full of colors available and the light camo is still in stock in XL anyhow. Wish I could swing the money but I just ordered a timney trigger and cerakote lol keep it up nutn!!

Lee Harrell [W5GCF]

Already missed the worn camo. It's perfect for my area. Dang it.

Nancy Merrell-Robertson

I love the picture of you and Mrs. Nutnfancy, Year One. You were and still are handsome and beautiful.

Bluegill097

Big fan of the jacket review! It has been a while since any clothing made it in a vid

Adam Boyd

I'm not in the market for jackets. I was only going to watch these last two vids to be a good TNPr. Glad I did. Informative and entertaining!

Tacticaldoodle

It may be a good idea, if you see any good lookin' ones, to get something alittle more civilian looking. I bought that yellow/grey jacket years ago and it's been helpful in winter shoots. I just wanted something two sizes too big that could help hide some goodies.

Andrettski

So funny on the pictures with the Mrs. My better half and I very close in age with you guys. But on the jacket vid seems like a really good value. I got some moto/off road Goretex pants jacket combo for about $450 bucks over 20 years ago that still function great. MOOSE RACING and some THOR MOTO gear that work for moto and skiing both

Sean

I bought the Burton, my wife opted for the cheaper one. Much thanks, as always

Matthew Sinn

Nutn, check out Duluth Trading Alaskan Hardgear pants. Rip stop, water repellent coating, gusseted crotch, really useful pockets. They have light weight and heavy duty options. They've been my goto work pants for ages, and I'd bet real money they'd hold up to desert testing.

Mike R

Love the clothing reviews “so does YouTube” lol. I still have my Burton snowboarding gear my jacket is almost 30 years old it still is good, though it hasn’t not been trashed on. I was thinking I should get a new Burton jacket next time I go snowboarding since I think i’ve gotten use out of my old one, so I guess this is a sign.

Beck

Medium sized Worn Camo is only a $100!!! I would buy it myself but I don't need a new jacket right now.

Chr. De La Rosa Nielsen

I never thought I'd be entertained by a review of a jacket, but there you go! I think you missed an opportunity to feature a Barton strap next to your Burton gear, but maybe next time? :) Anyway, a piece of clothing I think would be very worthwhile for you to check out is the Arktis B315. Yes, it's about $300, but it is an excellent piece of gear for all outdoors activities. https://store.arktis.co.uk/collections/coats-jackets/products/b315-avenger-coat-olive-green

David and Elizabeth

Low bulk, cool colors, lots of pockets,... Nice. 👌 👨‍👩‍👧❤

Conserve Liberty

Hah Hah - In 15 minutes around 10:45 PM CST 12/07 on Amazon with vid running in background, Barren Camo L was Sold Out, then 2 available, then ten, then Sold Out. $209.97.

Tim Bone

Check out their Alaskan Hardgear flexfit ballcaps with rip stop too. Nice low profile logo and XL fits super big melons like mine!

Tim Bone

Wish someone made one in the US desert nightvision camo from the 1990's. The parkas were the best and went with any terrain. Google "Gulf War Desert Night Camouflage"

Justin Carwile

Was just thinking I needed to up my game on my cold weather gear, and Nutnfancy the mind reader comes through for the win! Keep up the great work.

Cyborg009

So I bought the same color as you did and it’s very nice. Nearly every color in XL is sold out in Amazon.

Cyborg009

Not in many sizes. Nearly sold out in standard sizes.

whiskey papa

Nutn, you're amazing that you can find time to research & test all this. But thank you!

The Nutnfancy Project

That's a really cool pattern. You might find a cotton smock in that color on eBay. I've seen them before. BUT those are awful for winter.

Tim Talbot

At first glance, it looks a lot like an M65 field jacket.

Drake Tilson

hey Nutn! On your next bunker review, let us see that RPG you have on the wall!

Rolf S

Damn you and your finds Nutn! Lol. At least I found the worn cammo (second jacket you showed, called it lowland cammo) color on sale for $129 at evo.com in small and medium for those more petite fans. Thanks again for the find and have a Merry Christmas!!

david rockwell

The depth and cogent discussion points really made a case for purchase. Picked up the Barren Camo for an upcoming birthday gift. Thank you for the diverse and interesting content.

Cyborg009

If you did not watch the Inauguration, you might be unaware that Burton is the official supplier of snow jackets to Bernie Sanders and the Sandernistas.
