The Backstory

686: Always Innovative, Always Impressive

For the last three decades, 686 has produced some of the most stylish technical apparel on the market. The team’s performance design knowledge was born in the mountains, engineering products for volatile, high-elevation conditions.

The result? Best-in-class outerwear created in collaboration with athletes and artists.

For this particular collection, 686 teamed up with professional snowboarder Gigi Rüf to create the kit of his dreams. The result is more modern, and more stylish, than your usual gear; and built to last many seasons to come.

So What’s Up With the New ATV Collection?

The GORE-TEX 3L ATV Collection centers around two core pieces. The first, is the GORE-TEX 3L ATV Jacket. It’s available in two colors and was designed with a modern, relaxed fit for today’s look and room for layering. The second is the GORE-TEX 3L ATV Bib, which features smart details like a beacon pocket and secure cinch at the leg openings. It offers a roomier fit than most bibs this technical, so it’s not out of place on the resort.

Thanks to the GORE-TEX 3L fabric, both pieces are waterproof, breathable and ultra durable. They’re also light enough to take out into the backcountry, but strong enough to last for many seasons as a day-to-day resort pick.

Plus, both were built to serve as a ‘quiver-of-one,’ meaning they’re the only outfit you’ll need for hard winter activities — no matter the terrain.
