686 MENS HYDRA THERMAGRAPH JACKET

686 Hydra Thermagraph Jacket — Men's

686's best-selling jacket, and there's a good reason. The Hydra Thermagraph hits the sweet spot of warm enough, waterproof enough, and priced right for riders who want a reliable daily driver without overthinking their outerwear.

Protection

infiDRY 20K fabric — that's 20,000mm waterproof / 15,000g breathability. Not GORE-TEX, but honest numbers that handle full resort days in snow and light rain without issue. Fully taped seams and PFAS-free DWR finish.

Warmth

Body-mapped Thermagraph insulation puts 140g of recycled infiLOFT in the back and 60g in the sleeves, front body, and hood. More warmth where you lose heat, less bulk where you need mobility. This is a warm jacket — comfortable in the 15-30F range, and manageable colder with a midlayer.

Thoughtful Details

• Asymmetrical front zip — offsets the zipper from your chin, eliminates rub
• Vader Vents — chest vents specifically designed to push warm air away from your goggles, reducing fog
• Air-Flo underarm vents — pit zips for dumping heat
• 7 pockets — phone heater pocket, pass pocket, goggle stash, lip balm pocket
• Helmet-compatible hood with adjustable drawcord
• Inner wrist gaiters and adjustable cuffs
• Pant-Jacket Connect System

Who It's For

Weekend riders, lesson regulars, people who want one jacket and don't want to worry about it. It's warm, it's waterproof for 95% of situations, and it has all the pockets you need. The Hydra doesn't pretend to be a backcountry shell — it's a resort insulated jacket that does its job quietly and well.
