686 Spirit Insulated Womens Jacket 2027

The Jacket

The 686 Spirit is a lightly insulated jacket built for women who want one coat that works on the hill and off it. It's got a tailored cut, a faux fur lining that feels soft against your neck, and enough waterproofing to handle a full day of chairlift laps or a slushy walk downtown.

What We Like

We like that the Spirit doesn't try to be a technical shell and a streetwear coat separately - it just does both. The faux fur collar adds warmth right where you lose heat fastest, around your neck and chin, without making the jacket feel bulky. And the boho-inspired detailing means you can wear this thing to grab coffee after a morning on the slopes and not look like you're still wearing ski gear.

Tech That Matters

infiDRY® 10K waterproofing keeps you dry through wet snow and rain without needing anything more aggressive - the 10,000mm rating handles a full day out, though it's not built for a soaking, all-day spring downpour. Air-Flo™ vents let you dump heat on a warm afternoon.

Small details make a real difference here too. The phone heater pocket keeps your battery from dying in the cold. A Velcro pass pocket with a key clip cuts down on digging around at the lift line. And the Lycra wrist gaiters tuck into the sleeve and double as mitts if you left your gloves in the car - Death Grip™ Velcro cuffs cinch down so snow stays out where it belongs.

Fit & Sizing

The Spirit is cut close to the body, so it layers best under one midlayer, not two. If you run cold or want room for a thick fleece, size up from your usual jacket size. If you're wearing this mostly around town over a t-shirt or thin sweater, true to size works fine.

Why Willis

We've been fitting Pittsburgh skiers and riders since 1970, and we know a jacket that looks good on the rack is worthless if it soaks through by noon. Our staff will help you pick the right size for the layers you actually wear, not just what looks good in the mirror.
