686

686 started in 1992 with a straightforward idea: snowboarders deserve outerwear designed specifically for snowboarding, not borrowed from other sports. That philosophy — gear built for what riders actually need — is something we believe in at Willis. Over 30 years, 686 has become the technical apparel brand serious snowboarders reach for when conditions get demanding.

What sets 686 apart is their investment in materials and construction. Their waterproofing systems genuinely perform, their insulation works across variable conditions, and the design details reflect how snowboarders actually ride — articulated arm movement, waist gaiters that stay put, and pockets you can reach while layered up. They test gear in real conditions, and you can feel the difference.

686 stays focused on their core mission: making the best technical snowboard apparel possible. They're building gear for people who care about outerwear performance, and that dedication shows in every detail. We stock 686 at Willis because they represent the same values we do — know what you're good at, do it well, and let the product speak for itself.
