GORE-TEX. Shell Construction. Nothing Extra.

The 686 Core Shell is the case for not overbuilding a jacket. GORE-TEX 2-layer recycled polyester shell, no insulation, hanging lining — clean and packable with the waterproofing standard that actually holds up when the weather turns serious. The Charcoal Hemisphere colorway is a dark camo-influenced graphic that works as a standalone piece without reading like a billboard. Air-Flo™ chest vent keeps airflow dialed when you’re working hard, and the full feature set — adjustable powder skirt, helmet-compatible hood, goggle stash pocket, Pant Jacket Connect™ — covers everything you need without anything you don’t. Layer under it when it’s cold. Ride it alone in spring. That’s the point.

Why We Carry 686
