There is a reason that 686 continues to produce some of the best technical outerwear on the market. They test it. Last season the crew at 686 sent it up to the PNW for in search of fresh snow, good times, and weather to put gear to the test. With a combined two weeks under their belt, ten days at the infamous Mt. Baker, and another four down at Stevens Pass, you could say they got what they were looking for. Featuring riding from, Frankie Chapin, Patrick McCarthy, Nick Ennen, Riley Nickerson, Brett Esser, Matt Wainhouse, Kurt Jenson, Joe Bosler, Cam Pierce, Koonhead, and friends.
