Shout out to 686 for the sick hookup on their excellent gear. SportRx’s Tyler talks with TJ from SnowboardProCamp about the gear Tyler used to tackle Mammoth. 686 kept him warm and dry throughout the day. We definitely know what we’ll be wearing on our next trip to the snow.
686 Moniker Insulated Jacket
Tyler sported the 686 Moniker Insulated jacket. 10k waterproofing and breathability make this one of the most versatile jackets on the market. Even on those wetter snow days, Tyler’s jacket was still dry at the end of the day. But the 686 Moniker is not just versatile, it’s functional too. Plenty of venting and inner pockets to keep you and your other equipment dry and at the right temperature. Adjustable wrists and pant jacket connect systems keep the snow out even when you eat the gnar.
686 SMARTY 3-in-1 Cargo Pant
While you can throw on the 686 Moniker in wet snow, TJ recommends a higher rated waterproofing for pants. Fortunately, Tyler is wearing the 686 SMARTY 3-in-1 cargo pant. These pants are great for all weather conditions. With 20k waterproofing and 15k breathability, these pants can withstand the worst snow days. Detachable inner-fleece lining can be removed for warmer days, giving these pants true versatility on the mountain.
Snow Goggles to Sport with your 686 Gear
All the best snowboarding apparel means nothing without the right goggles to complement the rest of your setup. Here are some of the goggles we sported at Mammoth this season.
Anon M3
The Anon M3 snow goggles feature patented Magna-Tech lens technology that allows for some of the fastest lens changes in the industry. Magnets hold the cylindrical lens in place while you board at quickly come out when weather conditions require different lens. PERCEIVE lenses manufactured from ZEISS offer the best clarity and definition in a wide field of view.
