To celebrate 15 years of technical innovation inspired by the mountains and the LA lifestyle, 686 teamed up with headwear maker New Era to create a series of products marking this milestone event. Embracing the snowboarding background of 686, a series of performance products were created such as jackets, pants alongside lifestyle products such as t-shirts, wallets and fitted caps. Seen here are the History jacket and 59Fifty jacket. Both jackets incorporate a first for each brand in the form of a built-in waterproof New Era 59Fifty cap. Despite the aesthetic features, each jacket is full of technological features which provide wearers with a comfortable day on the hill. Another by-product of this collaboration resulted in a wooden cap carrier, sure to maintain and protect your cap. Check your local 686 dealer for these limited edition products.
