There is a small edge on the clip that snaps in above the ear pad, wiggle the ear pads and give a good yank and they will pop out.

Depends on what heat setting you use and what the outside temp is.

Look for the 2009 Men's jackets to start arriving in August!!

That is all BC.com will have for this particular style jacket. Look for the 2009 W's jackets to start arriving in August!

It does not. What catalog are you looking at?

Perfect for your needs!!!

I would go Medium.

Size 2 kids to Size 6 kids.

This guide is adjusted in .5 degree increments.

Not sure I can say more than Cyrus here. The ES is geared towards a more aggressive rider who demands more out of her board. Stiffer for more stability at speed, faster base and the addition of the Pro-Tip make it a step above and beyond the standard feelgood.

Hey Glen,
I would not buy the XL if I were you. It will not fit length wise. I would look for some other Burton gear in XXL, and some of the Ronin XL styles will fit. Hope this helps!

Yup, a medium would be the way to go. Call up custy service and they can help you out.

XS would def be your size and the Lush will keep you dry. I wouldn't suggest wearing it in a rainstorm but with a 10k Waterproof rating, your sweater should stay dry. The Lush has a woman's specific fit with a flare at the bottom.

Looks like there's a Small available in Mocha!!

Actually, this jacket is from 2008, (not this past seasons but the season before)

Def go with small bindings, they'll work fine. The custom is a unisex binding so you'll be fine. Happy shredding!

You should be ok with a medium but this depends on your boot. What boots do you ride currently? Some boots have a much larger profile than others. For example, the ION is a very low profile boot and would fit just fine. Hope this helps!

Correct, Proshell will have a crinkly feel to it where the softshell will breath better and be softer to the touch w/out that crinkly feeling.

The nylon is very heavy, but I do not believe the bag is treated with any sort of DWR.

Tough one to explain, but the internal core venting should be 2 zippers on either side of the front of the jacket (main zippers in picture above) that open and increase air flow.

The 2008 uses the 3D binding mount pattern where the 09 has the new EST binding interface technology. Many would argue, including myself that the EST binding mount system provides superior response and board feel compared to standard 3D bindings. You are closer to the board and save weight over the 3D system. Short answer; the 09 will be a better performing board IF you incorporate the EST binding into the package as well!

Actually, Burton provides a plate with all EST board purchases that allows you to run a standard 3D binding on the EST board interface!

Should be fine, like Andrew said above, you'll grow into it before you know it.

I think the 162 would be great! Directional for speed and maneuverability in the trees and still a totally capable board in the park. Sounds like Park is the least of your concerns so go with a board that will excel other places but still be alright to dip into the park AFTER your tree run!

Not really, more of a snowboard specific shell pant with no edge protection and a wide lower leg.
