Many rumors are out there regarding the meaning of the name “686”, but 686 stems from personal dates and numbers in West's life that all merged together at the perfect time. The brand name has now become synonymous with innovative, forward-thinking snowboarding jackets, outerwear and technical apparel inspired by the outdoors and mountain culture.

The amount of technology within each piece of 686 ski wear is astonishing. From detachable hoods and waterproof materials to heat retention and airflow, 686 gear is designed to take your outdoor winter adventures to a new level of comfort. Their products include down jackets, insulated snow pants, base layers, 3-in-1 jackets, hoodies and beanies.

686 also has a unique thermal rating system that makes choosing the perfect coat, gloves or pants for your specific needs easy. Each thermally rated product is thoughtfully designed to reflect a wide variety of conditions. You can combine all 686 heavy warmth items with 686 mid layer gear, then remove layers for less warmth as needed. If you're someone who is always cold, always hot or somewhere in between, 686 layers will help you find and regulate your ideal outdoor temperatures.
