686 Technical Outerwear: High tech, good times

686 Technical Apparel was started over two decades ago with an open mindset to create products that pushed the boundaries of what hadn’t been done before. It’s this everlasting obsession to continually explore technical innovation and the lifestyle of snowboarding that inspired all new collections of technical outerwear for 2014/15. No matter what your style is — GLCR, Parklan, Authentic or Cosmic — 686 has what you need this season to stay dry and warm in any condition.

As much backcountry as it is space-age, the GLCR collection instills the spirit of adventure in the world’s most advanced technical outerwear. 686 exclusive infiDRY® waterproof fabric, minimalist design, technical fabrications and ergonomic expedition fits combine to provide the ultimate protection for backcountry explorers like Sammy Luebke and Marco Feichtner.

Born at the intersection of the streets and the mountains, Parklan’s combination of classic militaristic inspirations and complex fabrications are the perfect choice for those wanting to look like they aren’t actually wearing outerwear at all.

With roots in 23 years of technical apparel, the Authentic collection merges classic 686 outerwear designs with forward thinking styling and technical details to create tried and true looks, that keep you dry and warm, for anyone, anywhere.

Forest Bailey’s Cosmic Collection is 100% unconventionally designed by Forest Bailey to accompany you on your journey through the winter. Forest’s uniquely designed jackets, pants, overalls and gloves are at home in any condition, just like Forest himself.

High tech, good times. This is 686.
