686 Waterproof Hoody

Why choose between the comfort of your favourite hoody and the protection you need on the mountain? The 686 Waterproof Hoody combines the familiar feel and relaxed styling of an everyday sweatshirt with serious waterproof, windproof and breathable performance designed for winter riding.

Built with infiDRY® 10K 3-layer bonded softshell fabric, the Waterproof Hoody features a soft polyester fleece backing for added warmth and comfort. The two-way stretch construction allows unrestricted movement while riding, hiking or working around the mountain, while a PFAS-free DWR finish helps water bead away from the outer surface.

Whether you're riding fresh powder, lapping the resort or looking for a versatile technical layer that doesn't look like traditional snowwear, the Waterproof Hoody delivers a unique combination of everyday style and mountain-ready performance.

10K Waterproof Protection

The Waterproof Hoody uses infiDRY® 10K technology, providing 10,000mm waterproofing for reliable protection against snow, moisture and winter weather.

The outer fabric is finished with a C0 PFAS-free DWR coating, helping water repel from the surface while maintaining the fabric's breathability. The result is a shell designed to keep you comfortable when conditions turn wet and snowy without sacrificing the familiar feel of a hoody.

Soft Fleece-Backed Comfort

Unlike a traditional hard-shell snow jacket, the Waterproof Hoody uses a 3-layer bonded softshell construction with a polyester fleece backing.

The fleece interior provides a soft, comfortable feel against your layers while adding warmth for colder days. This makes the Waterproof Hoody particularly versatile: wear it as a standalone outer layer in milder conditions or build it into a wider layering system when temperatures drop.

Stretch Construction for Freedom of Movement

The two-way stretch fabric is designed to move with you, making it easier to bend, twist and reach while riding.

Whether you're carving turns, strapping into your bindings, hiking through the snow or simply moving around the resort, the stretch construction helps prevent the restrictive feeling often associated with technical outerwear.

Built for the Mountain

Underneath its understated hoody styling, the Waterproof Hoody is packed with features designed specifically for snow sports.

A side-seam zippered entry and pit vent gives you additional ventilation when you're working hard, while the adjustable bottom hem allows you to customise the fit and help seal out cold air and snow.

The front hood drawcord lets you adjust the hood for a closer fit, while adjustable Velcro cuffs provide another level of fit and protection around the wrists.

Practical Storage

The Waterproof Hoody features a practical three-pocket configuration designed to keep your essentials close at hand.

The large zippered-entry kangaroo pouch provides convenient storage and hand warmth, while an audio stash pocket with internal audio button hole gives you a dedicated place for compatible audio devices and cables.

A dedicated Velcro pass pocket with key clip keeps your lift pass readily accessible while helping secure your keys when you're riding.

Glove Link™ Thumb Grip

The integrated Glove Link™ inner thumb grip helps keep your sleeves securely positioned when you're putting on gloves or moving around the mountain. It's a small but useful detail that contributes to a cleaner fit between your jacket, gloves and base layers.

Technical Performance with Everyday Style

The Waterproof Hoody is deliberately different from a conventional ski or snowboard jacket. Its familiar hoody silhouette gives it an understated, casual appearance, while the technical fabric and snow-specific features make it capable of handling serious winter conditions.

That versatility makes it equally useful on snow days, travelling to the resort, walking around town or as part of your everyday winter wardrobe.

infiDRY® 10K Technology

infiDRY® is 686's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technology, engineered to provide protection from the elements while maintaining comfort during active use.

The Waterproof Hoody combines this technology with a fleece-backed softshell construction, giving you the protection of technical outerwear with a softer, more comfortable feel.

PFAS-Free DWR

The outer fabric features a C0 PFAS-free Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment. This finish encourages water to bead and roll off the surface of the fabric, helping the outer layer resist moisture while supporting breathability.
