Why We Like The GT GORE-TEX Jacket

Designed to travel easy and shred both fluff and slush, the 686 GT GORE-TEX Jacket stays with us all season long. It packs up nicely when we jet to shred Japow, while the underarm zippers and breathable membrane keep us comfortably dry through the wet stuff for spring runs back home.

Wore this 3 times. Main zipper broke. 686 nor backcountry will not stand by their warranty policy.

Men's GT Shell

Jacket is very amazing, was in very Tahoe snow for a couple days in a row and never noticed the water at all. Jacket is very wind and water proof. Just what I was looking for.

Came home to my one-year-old crying like a baby and this beautiful new jacket sitting at my front door. You better believe I immediately put that jacket on and picked up my crying child. I held him close to my chest so that I could watch the tears runoff like an impenetrable force, not allowing a single drop to make it through. Seriously though, everything about this jacket is great - the vents, pockets, the fit, the color, and the feel. I’m 5’11” 175lbs and the Large is perfect. Sure it’s slightly baggy but that’s the style. If you want something form fitting go with something else, but you’ll look like a dweeb. What matters is that it fits my shoulders and chest and when I stretch my arms out my sleeves don’t ride up. I haven’t tested it out with my helmet but from what I can tell, the hood has plenty of room. I went with the Red one since I wanted my kids to easily identify me on the slopes. Best color I’ve seen. It’s not dark red but also not pink or orange. It’s unique. This jacket makes a statement. Great job 686!

Dripped out

This jacket looks great on the mountain and off. Kept dry when out for several hours in rain, but wetted out halfway through a deep powder day. Hood works well with a helmet, but hood could be a bit bigger. The hand-warmer inner cuffs are good, but can wick up water during heavy rain. Pockets are good placement and size and insulated phone pocket is a definite plus! I love that various features in the jacket (such as the "Glove Link" are in a contrasting colour and labelled so that you don't have to guess their uses. Note that the jacket is a lined shell, meaning that it provides more warmth than some other shells.

Only got a few wears out of this because my season ended a but early but I liked it a lot. The color is my favorite part but it kept me warm and dry. The sleeves do feel a bit long but I think that's better than the alternative when it comes to skin wear.

Storing area not enough

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It will be better If there are one more inside pocket inside or outside of the jacket. There are just one big pocket now inside the jacket.

686 GTX GT Shell Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After performing imeccably for 10+ years, it was time to retire my old 686 jacket. I went back to 686 and bought their GT shell jacket. The "L" jacket fit perfectly, not baggy but no restriction of movement. The hood fits a helmet easily and I love the well thought out and feature laden design. Used once on typical NW day, 35 F with wet snow, I stayed totally dry. This shell is a winner!
