Waterproofing already tested and confirmed. Love the well thought out (and cutely labeled) pockets. Cozy but won’t cause overheating, with room for layering if needed. (I bought the large for arm length). And it looks good. (The colors are a little brighter than I’d expected from the website, but that’s ok). I’m really happy with it. Well done 686.
It is pretty warm and windproof. Sadly, the XL size’s arms were 4-5 inches too long for me. I am a size 12 and this size was pretty big on me so an L might fit better but I have a feeling the arms would still be too long. I’m so sad because the tree pattern is beyond beautiful :-(
I have always loved 686 jackets. I have been looking for another jacket with wrist gaiters and I'm so happy I found this one. I love the color and all of the pockets. I haven't tested it out in colder weather but it feels like my other one so I'm sure it will keep me warm.
