686 Technical Apparel is a dedicated snow and outdoor apparel brand operating at 686.com. The brand serves men, women, boys, and girls with a wide range of products spanning snowboard jackets, ski pants, bibs, gloves, mittens, goggles, beanies, and base layers. Beyond snow gear, 686 also offers apparel for hiking and cycling, making it a versatile destination for outdoor enthusiasts across multiple seasons.
The snow category at 686.com is particularly deep, featuring proprietary collections such as GORE-TEX outerwear for maximum waterproofing, the Thermagraph® insulation line, SMARTY® 3-in-1 convertible systems, and the ATV Collection. These technical innovations position 686 as a brand for serious riders who demand performance-level gear rather than fashion-only outerwear.
686 has cultivated a strong collaborations program, partnering with brands including Fox Racing, HUF, Anti Social Social Club, Hello Kitty®, Sublime, PBR, Mystery Ranch, and Affliction. These limited-edition drops appeal to collectors and fans of streetwear crossover culture, broadening the brand's reach beyond traditional snow sports audiences.
For everyday outdoor and lifestyle wear, the apparel section includes the 686 Everywhere®, Unwork®, and Featherlight collections, covering pants, shorts, shirts, and fleece jackets designed for versatility. An outlet section offers discounted pants, shorts, tops, and accessories for budget-conscious shoppers.
