By Adam from Boston on 03/03/2008 Pros: Breathable, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Chest Size: Feels true to size Sleeve Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great jacket, lots of pockets, works nicely with 686 pants, waterproof, looks good. I wouldn't wear the liner on its own, but thats because the xl lining is pretty big... I got a large because the specs matched my measurements; it ended up being too small in the chest but fine in the arms. (6'2" 210lbs)
Excellent 686 Jacket & Value from STP! By Aceboympk from Midwest Flatlander on 02/18/2008 Pros: Breathable, Durable, Free shirt hat, Great style, Lightweight, Multiple jackets in 1, Warm, Waterproof Best Uses: Cold Weather, Extreme Conditions, Skiing base and summit, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Sleeve Length: Feels too long Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This jacket shell, liner, moisture wicking shirt and hat are an excellent value. I received a lot of compliments about the jacket from other 686 owners and those who never heard of 686.
The only issue I had is the jacket is a little large. I'm a 42R and the XL was way too big. But, Sierra took care of me by allowing me to return the jacket! What more can be said about their EXCELLENT customer service.
THe arm gators, powder waist, hood, THOUSANDS of pockets, pit zips, and other features provided superior comfort at Jackson Hole base (mid-30's) and while skiing the summit which was 10 degrees and had 70 MPH wind gusts causing white out conditions. Overall an ideal jacket for this non-snowboarder. Who says 686 is for snowboarders only?!!!
Oh, and the jacket is conservative enough for me to wear to my office while easy enough for the rest of my ski party to easily pick me out of a crowd of Red/Black ski jackets.
Excellent jacket, can't beleive the $!!

Layer system is perfect, warm, waterproof & breathability can't be beat. Pockets for everything. 686 makes a superior product & looks just as good!
