Burton, who teamed up with the creators of Star Wars a few years ago to create a range of kid’s boards and clothing featuring the famous characters (a snowboard helmet designed like the top of R2 D2 being particularly memorable) is doing the same again for 2013 /14, this time with Marvel super heroes.
The limited edition boys Marvel jacket (€180) and trousers (€140) features an exclusive one-of-a-kind print of Marvel’s Avengers Assemble featuring bold, iconic illustrations of Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow and Hawkeye.
“Loaded with more tech than Iron Man’s armour, the new Marvel Jacket boasts many of Burton’s high-end outerwear technologies, including DRYRIDE weatherproofing and strategically placed Thermacore™ insulation for super-powered warmth and waterproofing. Aspiring Avengers will also love the jacket’s hidden facemask, removable waist gaiter and extra waterproof welded seams,” said a company statement.,
As with the Star Wars kit, the clothing was already ‘sold out’ online when it was announced but you may be able to get it in a shop if you’re quick.
