686 Hydra Thermagraph 2027 – Insulated Jacket

The 686 Hydra Thermagraph is built for the all-mountain rider who wants serious performance without paying a premium price. Whether you're lapping the park, charging groomers, or hunting powder stashes, this insulated snowboard jacket handles full-day riding in variable winter conditions from early season slush to deep cold snaps.

The Thermagraph® Body Mapping Insulation System uses 140g of 85% recycled fill, placing warmth where you run cold and ventilation where you run hot — including underarm Air-Flo™ vents and Vader Vents™ that redirect exhaled air away from your goggles. The shell is built from 2-layer infiDRY® 20K stretch fabric with a PFAS-free DWR finish, backed by fully taped Bemis® seams, water-resistant zipper treatments on the chest and center front, and an asymmetrical front zip to cut down on chin irritation. The attached adjustable powder skirt with a Lycra stretch panel and the Pant Jacket Connect™ system keep snow out when things get deep, while the helmet-compatible hood adjusts cleanly over any helmet.

This jacket is dialed for the everyday rider who wants one jacket that does it all — warm enough for cold groomer days, breathable enough for high-output laps. If you hate fumbling for your pass or your phone in the lift line, the 8-pocket layout (including a zippered pass pocket with key clip, a phone heater pocket, and an internal goggle stash) keeps everything organized and accessible. Riders who care about sustainability will also appreciate the recycled insulation and PFAS-free coating.

• Is this jacket waterproof enough for a full day in heavy snow? Yes — the infiDRY® 20K rating and fully taped Bemis® seams are designed to handle sustained wet conditions, not just light flurries.
• Does the hood fit over a helmet? Yes, the hood is helmet-compatible and adjustable to fit properly over a helmet without compromising your field of vision.
