686 exclusive infiDRY® waterproof and breathable fabric fuses our specifically engineered signature fabrics with multiple levels of elemental protection to keep you dry, no matter how bad the conditions get. Every inch of infiDRY® fabric meets strict 686 specifications and endures countless hours of team testing to ensure the utmost waterproofing, breathability and durability. All infiDRY® fabric can sustain multiple washings with a specially formulated outerwear detergent like Nikwax Tech Wash.
This creates a packable system to keep gear in order when not in use. It’s simple: the jacket is folded, rolled, and then the hood bungy tightens around the bundle to keep it that way. This creates organization and increases room in your pack. At the end of the day, you have a bonus roll to be used as a cushion, padding, or pillow.
A lightweight insulation made of circular-like filament groupings that individually retain heat yet provide air movement between each group. The result is moisture resistance with a loft-like feel for superior warmth.
The seams where pieces of fabric are brought together are the most likely spot for moisture to intrude into a garment. The seam taping process prevents this by making the seams as waterproof as their surrounding fabric. Seams in 686 garments can be fully taped throughout the garment or taped only at critical areas to further ensure quality workmanship and guarantee waterproofing.
LOVE IT. If you’re considering the Hydra Jacket, my recommendation is to absolutely go for it. The insulation allows me to wear just my thermal long sleeve under it in most conditions. I love that all the pockets are so intuitive too. There’s even a phone warmer in the outer pocket so your phone doesn’t freeze while you’re jamming out on the mountain. The hood has already saved me in windy conditions fitting beautifully over my helmet, and the collar comes up to your face so perfectly I didn’t even need my extra fleece hood. Also very impressed with the waterproofing, it’s the closest you’ll get to GoreTex without paying the price for it. All-around super high quality jacket, and it isn’t at all bulky! Which makes storage a breeze. I bought the dusty mauve colour and I’m obsessed with how stylish it looks with my Outline Pants (which I could also go on and on about). Overall SUPER impressed with this purchase.
