Love this jacket

Great jacket!

Works great and love all the features like the glove link, armpit vents, and pockets. I am a size small and was comfortable with just a base layer in 35+F temps. I recommend a fleece base layer if wearing this in below freezing weather. I do wish the hood was bigger and/or had toggles instead of just a drawcord to keep it cinched and help it stay over my helmet! Also the neck coverage is a little high when fully zipped which can impair your vision when wearing snowboarding goggles. I got lots of compliments and love the design.

Quite large

I ordered an S just in case I want to stuff some sweaters inside. It is quite long which I guess is good for skiing so you don't get snow inside. The material isn't as nice as some other jackets I have, but I mostly bought it for the hello kitty collection. Personally I think I should've gotten an XS bc I have thermal tops that are thinner that still keep me warm, but I can't wait to wear it with my overalls!

Dream Come True for Hello Kitty Fan!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this jacket so much even though I’m a grown woman and have received many compliments (mostly from little girls :joy:). I also have the matching bob pants. Since the pants are a shell and the jacket more of a spring skiing weight, I bought size M to ensure I had a bit of room for layering. My friends all tell me the colours enable them to see me from far away which I also find a plus.

Fit true to size! Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit true to size! Awesome grouping of colors! Warm and very fashionable. I haven’t had time to ski due to Holidays but look forward to showing my ski friends my new coat! Service was fabulous and came within days of placing my order. Thank you 686!

You want this jacket, Yes you do.

This jacket is incredible! It's the perfect fit and has enough pockets to stash snackie snacks, my phone, my pass and can't forget about that good ol' chapstick. I love what 686 makes and designs, always high quality with the riders in mind!

Hello Kitty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Warm, comfy and great fit. I would say it fits relaxed and is well constructed. The HK print is adorable and I got many complements. Ended up having to purchase XL bc I wanted the print, which is 3x my size, but it was still a great buy.

Great Quality

This is my first 686 purchase and I am loving the brand! I bought the white/camo and it's so cute. The warmth is good. I bought a large to layer and it's great. Love that the cuffs go over gloves but an inside band would be nice.

Perfect for spring skiing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So excited to wear this for spring skiing - definitely lightweight and practical, so I ordered a size larger to have room for layers if I need them. Love the inner pockets and hello kitty lining.
