686

In the early 90's, Michael Akira West brought the spirit of LA skateboarding culture to the local mountains where the emergence of snowboarding was taking shape. Thirty years and hundreds of innovations later, 686 remains founder-led and strives to live by Mike's original ideas. For three decades 686 has been developing and testing technical apparel. 686 is based around innovation, people, and purpose with the goal of re imagining performance. We create community. We create experiences. We create products for self-expression to go everywhere and do anything.  Sporty designs, technical fabrics, and thoughtful details. Shop apparel made to move. Thoughtful details and durable construction make 686 apparel a cut above the rest. Rider Owned & Operated. 686 uses technologies such as GORE-TEX, THERMAGRAPH and HYDRA STASH.
