Burton has teamed up with the Disney owned Marvel Entertainment for a new “high-tech, youth outerwear jacket and pant” which features an all-over print staring The Avengers’ Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye.
The perfect choice for Avengers fans, Burton’s new Marvel Jacket and Pant doesn’t just look superhuman – it plays the part with performance that’s upgraded in every respect. Loaded with more tech than Iron Man’s armor, 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 face mask, removable waist gaiter and extra waterproof welded seams.
