A mobile layering piece cut from 210 Taffeta with a DWR durable water repellent treatment the 686 Thermal Puff Men's Jacket is a windproof insulated layering piece with stretch poly fleece side panels to reduce bulk and put wicking breathability where you need it. That stretch gives this jacket a full range of movement without pulling in a piece that stands nicely on its own for autumn weather, and layers comfortably under a shell as part of your precision layering system this winter. Stretch banding on the cuffs and inside dump pockets for carrying a hoodie, glove liners, or, of course, an essential snack bar, with a comfortable fleece collar. This has a streamlined aesthetic that is almost work wear in styling, it’s the absolutely practical layering piece you’ve been looking for, a piece that shrugs off moisture, wicks and breathes to keep your core comfortable, and gives you ease of movement without compromising that core insulation front and back. Designed specifically for layering into 686’s systems you’ll find this glides nicely into place and stays in place without bunching. A layering piece designed to be squashed into a pack and slid under a shell with a straightforward aesthetic you’ll find this is one of your “don’t leave home without it” pieces designed to conquer autumn frosts and winter cold.
