I have ridden the 686 Hydra jacket for 3 seasons. 1 season on the east coast and 2 in Colorado. So I have used it in many different conditions and it performs really well in all of them! It comes with 2-Layer infiDRY® 20K Stretch Fabric + DWR water-resistant coating. On a warmer sunny day, you can rock just a... Read more
Ideal for
- A versatile outer later that works in lots of temps
- All the features needed in a good all condition jacket. Great pockets, dual zipper, powder skirt, big hood and Thermagraph insulation pads throughout.
- This is a very comfortable jacket with great mobility even with a wider chest frame
Not ideal for
- If the local climate is very wet and rainy look into some gor tex jacket options
- If a more tailored, fitted jacket is preferred this may not be the best choice

The 686 Hydra Thermagraph jacket is a fantastic all-around jacket that is suitable for practically anyone. With its 20K infiDRY weatherproofing, it is very waterproof and windproof while remaining breathable and comfortable. I wore this jacket in 50 mph winds and felt it underneath. It has targeted insulation to help keep the important areas warm. It is not the most... Read more
Ideal for
- Great Wind proofing and Waterproofing
- Cool style with face shield and off center zip
- Breathable and has pit zips for those warm days
Not ideal for
- The corner of the zip/face shield can hit the face when not zipped up all the way
- Not the warmest by itself, but great for layering

This might be my new favorite jacket! The Thermograph has just about everything you would want in a jacket! This jacket packs a 20k waterproof outer shell so it can handle some wet conditions! I have been a long time fan of Gore Tex but I was so pleased with how well 686s waterproofing has held up! The insulated body... Read more
Ideal for
- The insulated body panels keep the right points of the body heated
- Lightweight so its not feeling weighed down
- 20k waterproofing keeps the moisture out
Not ideal for

Great jacket
Originally posted at www.686.com on Dec 21, 2024Very good jacket, keeps you just the right temperature and the waterproofing is great. Pockets and other feature are also designed well. However the jacket run very large, especially in the arms.

Ray was super friendly and helpful!
5 /5
We’ve been messaging back and forth for over a month and as I gave him new information about my background and how I was progressing in snowboarding he continued to give me suggestions until I finally made a decision based on his recommendations. He was very encouraging and helpful the entire time!

Great. Knows his stuff. Great recommendations. But I just wasn’t comfortable with short board. But when he got back to me with Carbon Supermatics, he scored with me.

Kyle understood my language
5 /5
You know when a ski isn’t quite right and one you used to have was perfect? Well, I used a lot of words that I’m not sure are used to describe skiing, and he completely understood me. The road led back to a brand I love and a ski that seemed to be the new and improved version of one that I lost years ago. Although I was ultimately ready to spend whatever it took to find the best ski, he worked with me for all ranges… full price and sales. I feel I was able to make an educated decision. His written description of the skis were all super helpful. I can’t wait to get these babies under foot.

VINCE IS THE ABSOLUTE GOAT🐐
5 /5
I mean, have you heard of Vince. Cause if you haven’t then boy oh boy, you truly are missing out. This dude was by far the best curator/beautiful human I have ever encountered through my telephone screen. Words can’t describe the joy he brought me along with his amazing smile. I mean are we serious. Having this man answer questions behind a phone screen is a disservice to humanity. This guy needs a ginormous raise or a massive promotion to become the spokesperson for this company. I’d invite him to my wedding if I was to ever have one. Dude definitely has a future in owning his own company or just being an all around amazing dude. We need more Vince’s in the world cause to be honest there truly just are not enough. Vince 2028 🦅🦅🦅🦅(I’ve never left a review for anyone ever but this man deserved it🙂↕️🙂↕️)

Spencer is awesome! He helped me out a ton finding a board. He was able to answer all my questions and recorded a video with all the different types of riding and the boards that go with them. He also explained each of the boards he suggested and why and helped me narrow down the size. Thanks again my dude I appreciate the help!

RICK WAS THE BEST HELP!!!
5 /5
He's extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of snowboarding (female/male gear, beginner/expert, mobility restrictions, etc.). He listened to all my concerns and questions and responded in a timely manner each time! He even checked up on me and asked to help me through the process of making a choice in gear. He never tried to up sell me or force me into something I didn't like/the more expensive or newer version. He only made recommendations based on my specific needs and wants. For which, I am extremely grateful. He was an absolute delight to chat with and discuss snowboarding (amongst other topics). I've never felt so confident in my snowboarding gear. I appreciate all the help I've gotten from Rick. I will absolutely be seeking his expertise in the future when it comes to this sport!

Eric has given me recommendations for a few years now. This is the first year I purchased, but i’ve always appreciated his expertise, honesty, and excitement. He’s introduced me to boards I wouldn’t have thought to purchase and really helped teach me about new tech that I haven’t heard of before. Very excited to try out my new magne traction board on the icy east coast!!

Great experience
5 /5
I have skied for many years but always rented. It makes sense for a variety of reasons to finally buy but every time I looked online I felt overwhelmed but no time to go to a store to talk to someone in person. Having Soren guide me through the process was exactly what I needed to cut through the myriad options and find what worked in my budget and for my needs. Will definitely recommend to others!
