Built to handle severe winter weather without sacrificing mobility or breathability, the 686 Men's GORE-TEX Core Shell Jacket delivers high-performance storm protection for all-day riding.

A smooth hanging lining allows for effortless layering over mid-layers, while fully taped GORE-TEX seams reinforce its weatherproof barrier. Featuring rider-focused details like an Air-Flo chest vent, insulated phone storage, and seamless jacket-to-pant integration, this shell is a reliable daily driver for resort and backcountry skiers and snowboarders alike.
