What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "This is the jacket I grab when I know it’s going to be cold but I still want to lap the resort all day. The insulation gives it great warmth and the waterproof shell keeps snow from soaking through—even on storm days. Super solid for the price." From early season storm days to spring slush laps, the 686 Foundation Insulated Jacket gives us a reliable shield from the elements without breaking the bank. Built with a 2-layer infiDRY® shell, it keeps moisture out while letting heat and sweat escape, and it's fully taped to block out wet chairlift rides and face shots alike. Body-mapped synthetic insulation adds targeted warmth where we need it most, without weighing us down or overheating on bluebird days. Mesh-lined vents offer airflow when we're bootpacking or riding hard, and the adjustable hood, cuffs, and powder skirt keep snow where it belongs—on the outside. From park laps to powder days, this jacket sets a solid foundation for a killer season.
