I was looking for a jacket that was extremely waterproof, but didn't want to spend $350+ on a GoreTex jacket. This jacket hits the spot - dig the price tag, love all of the pockets (especially the hidden pass pocket on the left arm). I purchased a size Large and tend to like my jackets a bit baggy. This has room for layers underneath, but doesn't look bulky. The size is perfect. I am 5'8' and 150 lbs. I love that the dark camo color isn't too "girly" but still has some stylish flare. This jacket is going to get a ton of use this season - mountains of Colorado, Japan, Park City and Montana. I am confident that the construction will hold up in even the most wet of snow (Japan) and keep me warm but not overheated. Can't wait to use this jacket all winter long!

Quality in Mind. I'm an avid snowboarder. I have owned many boards, coats, gloves, boots, goggles, etc. I currently own an older smarty coat and love it. 686 has done their homework on their coats. The zippers zip down, while that may sound dumb, often times the wind will tug at the zipper depending on how fast you ride. This design has kept everything in my pockets since I have owned the jacket. The material is very weather resistant and warm. 686 knows how to make a quality coat.

Stoked. What a rad coat so warm and dry! I love the re pack ! Jacket fit wonderful besides would size up one in this if there were an option.
