BUY LOCAL: Custom Gore-Tex Pants from Burgess Custom Outerwear

Buy Local is a new column that showcases Local Business and Entrepeneuers that are living the dream right here in the Tetons. This week we take a look at Burgess Custom Outerwear

The need for quality product here in the mountains is critical and snowpants are no exception. Once you go with a Gore-Tex snowpant, its pretty much good bye to all other fabrics! Like I always say, You could die out there!

Sure you can get Gore-Tex in brands like The North Face, Burton, Oakley, Arc'Teryx, Marmot, etc.

But, if individuality is your thing, and your sick of seeing your outfit in the liftline: Design your own pants and colorway right here in Burgess Customs fitting studio in Teton Valley, Idaho.

Specializing in creating your dream pant, fit, and style is the idea here!

"Fashion, Design and making something unique" is Sarah Deutschs' favorite part of the job.

In addition to the Custom Gore-Tex snowpants, the addiction to the mountain lifestyle has led her to a humble Lifestyle line as well with products built here in the US; including quality hoodies, hats, and tees!

Keeping overhead low and a loyal following of happy shredders is most important. To create something from a flat peice of fabric; to the Gear you put on when you ride is rewarding and amazing feeling.

"I ride with mostly snowboarders, but ski. My pants are for all types of Riders." -Burgess Custom Owner/Founder Sara Deutsch

Prices start at $250.00 for Fully Customized Gore-Tex snowpants and usually take about 6-8 weeks!
