686 GORE-TEX Willow Insulated 2027 – Women's Insulated Jacket

Description

The 686 GORE-TEX Willow Insulated is a clean, no-nonsense women's snowboard jacket built for riders who want reliable storm protection without the bulk. Equally at home on cold bluebird days or when the weather turns ugly, it pairs a minimalist silhouette with smart, mountain-tested features.

At its core is a Gore-Tex 2L membrane made from 100% recycled polyester with fully taped seams and a PFAS-free DWR finish, keeping you dry without compromise. An 85% recycled infiLOFT® 60g polyfill insulation layer adds warmth without sacrificing mobility, while Air-Flo™ underarm vents and a zippered chest pocket let you dial in your temperature on the fly. Fit-wise, a helmet-compatible adjustable hood, attached powder skirt with Pant Jacket Connect™, adjustable cuffs, and a hidden hem cinch give you a dialled, snow-sealing fit. Inside, you get a phone heater pocket, goggle stash, goggle lens pocket, tissue and lip balm pockets, Glove Link™ thumb grip, and tangle-free headphone loops — six pockets total across interior and exterior.

Who it's for

The Willow is the go-to for riders who prefer a streamlined jacket that punches above its weight in foul weather. If you're logging long days on the mountain and need warmth, dryness, and smart organization without extra bulk, this jacket delivers. The recycled construction also suits riders who care about keeping their kit as sustainable as their lifestyle.
