686 Ghost 2.5L Anorak 2027 – Shell Jacket

The 686 Ghost 2.5L Anorak is a minimalist shell jacket built for riders who want one piece that works as hard at the resort as it does in the city. Designed for all-mountain use in variable winter conditions, it suits snowboarders who prioritize mobility, lightweight layering, and a low-profile silhouette over bulky outerwear.

Constructed with a 2.5-layer infiDRY® fabric rated at 10,000mm waterproofing and fully taped Bemis® seams, the Ghost keeps moisture out without adding unnecessary bulk. A PFAS-free DWR treatment handles surface water repellency while 500D nylon reinforces the zones that take the most abuse. The cropped, flexible fit pairs naturally with a baggy cut, and the 2-way anorak zip doubles as a ventilation option when the pace picks up. An adjustable hood, Death Grip™ velcro cuffs, powder skirt, and the Pant Jacket Connect™ system round out the storm-ready feature set.

The Ghost is the right call for snowboarders who ride hard but hate looking like they're wearing a sleeping bag at the après bar. The shell-only construction assumes you'll dial in your own insulation underneath, making it a smart pick for those who run warm or prefer to adapt their layering to conditions. If you want one jacket that earns its keep from the first chairlift to the last street corner, this is it.

• Does the Ghost have insulation? No — it's a shell jacket designed to be layered over your own midlayer or fleece, giving you full control over warmth.
• Is the hood helmet-compatible? Yes, the adjustable hood is designed to fit over a helmet without bunching or losing coverage.
