686 Men's Hydra Thermagraph Jacket

686 Men's Hydra Thermagraph Jacket

An insulated men's snowboard jacket built around 686's Thermagraph body-mapped insulation, which puts warmth over your core and breathable mesh where you tend to run hot. With a 20K waterproof stretch shell, fully taped seams and eight pockets, the Hydra is an easy choice for riders who want one jacket for powder days, park laps and cold chairlift rides.

Why We Carry It

It's the insulated jacket we point people to when they want real warmth and waterproofing without the bulk of a traditional puffy-lined coat, at a price that makes sense for a full season of riding.

Highlights

• Thermagraph body-mapping insulation: 140g insulation made with 85% recycled content sits over your core and spine, with breathable, moisture-wicking mesh in the zones that tend to overheat.
• infiDRY 20K stretch shell: 2-layer stretch fabric rated to 20,000mm waterproofing, finished with a PFAS-free DWR so snow beads up and rolls off.
• Fully taped seams: Bemis taped seams keep water from working through the stitching on wet storm days.
• Venting for warm laps: Air-Flo underarm vents dump heat on hikes and spring days, and Vader Vents help cut down on goggle fog.
• Helmet-compatible hood: The adjustable hood fits over a helmet and stows with the Hood Link system when you don't need it.
• 8-pocket layout: Five external and three internal pockets, including a phone heater pocket, a zippered pass pocket with key clip, and internal goggle and stash pockets.
• Snow-sealing details: An attached, adjustable powder skirt with a Lycra stretch panel, inner Lycra wrist gaiters with Glove Link thumb grips, adjustable welded cuffs and the Pant Jacket Connect system keep snow out on deep days.
• Comfort touches: A honeycomb fleece inner collar, an asymmetrical zipper that reduces chin rub and tangle-free headphone loops.
