686 Hydra Thermagraph 2027 – Women's Insulated Jacket

Description

The 686 Hydra Thermagraph is the go-to insulated jacket for women who ride hard across changing conditions — from frigid bluebird mornings to slushy spring laps. Built around a smart warmth system and no-nonsense weatherproofing, it's the one jacket that genuinely handles everything the mountain throws at it without asking too much of your wallet.

At its core, the Hydra runs a 2-layer infiDRY® 20K recycled polyester shell treated with a PFAS-free DWR finish, keeping you dry without the harmful chemistry. The Thermagraph® body-mapped lining uses heavier 140g infiLOFT® insulation across the back where heat retention matters most, and lighter 60g fill through the front, sleeves and hood where mobility and breathability take priority. Air-Flo™ underarm vents and Vader Vents™ let you dial airflow on the fly, while the asymmetrical center zip cuts down on chin irritation during long chair rides. Fully taped Bemis® seams seal every stitch, and the Pant Jacket Connect™ system keeps snow out when you go down.

Who it's for

This jacket is built for the everyday rider who wants serious performance without overthinking gear. If you spend full days on the mountain in variable weather and need a jacket that transitions from cold groomer runs to sweaty park laps without a clothing change, the Hydra delivers. The 8-pocket layout — including a phone heater pocket, goggle stash and goggle lens pocket — means everything has a place.
