It’s October and Mammoth Mountain just opened! Since winter’s here, I’m gonna start mashing some of the new collection. First up is a preview of the 686 Plexus line. PLEXUS offers a glimpse into the future of technical shell outerwear. The focus is based upon lightweight and minimalist design needs. 686®, BOA® and RECCO® technologies have exclusively partnered to develop entirely new innovations in the world of 3-ply technical shell apparel.

The Pinnacle Jacket epitomizes the Plexus motto of lightweight shells, offering imported Japanese fabrics with 3-ply 20,000mm/15,000gm waterproof and breathable technologies, BOA winding system in the hood to eliminate toggles and cords, Recco avalanche transceiver, welded seaming, engineered and articulated fitted silhouette with subtle minimal contrast hits throughout.

Match the Red Pinnacle Pant with this jacket and you’re set. I’m down with simple things without compromising quality workmanship and premium materials and trims. The Pinnacle set up is what I rock in the backcountry or on heli trips.

Here’s some more Plexus pieces- The Gamma Jacket in Gunmetal Pin.

Gamma Pant in Black Pin

Softshells are basically technical hoody’s you can wear on and off the hill. The Zenith Softshell is great for everything you need during foul weather on the hill to chill times at the bars.

For y’all that wanna brighten things up, the Axis Softshell does it well.

Park rats, what! The go-to softshell for the 686 Faction. As my man Slim would say, “I’m so fly…”
