  • Our take on the 686 Men's Thermal Puff Jacket

    The 686 Thermal Puff Jacket is a lightweight insulated midlayer built for everyday winter wear and layering under a shell. Fleece side panels and a fleece-lined inner neck add stretch and warmth where a solid puffer would feel stiff. It sits between a plain fleece and a heavy down jacket: warmer and more wind-resistant than fleece, less bulky and less weatherproof than a 3-in-1 or a down parka. Owners rate it highly, and the main trade-offs are the lack of a hood and limited wet-weather protection.

    Questions and answers

    Is this warm enough on its own?
    For dry, cold days around town, yes. In wind, rain or deep cold, wear it under a shell or pair it with a warmer base layer.
    Can I ski in it?
    Yes, as a midlayer under a waterproof shell. It is not waterproof on its own, so it is not a substitute for a ski jacket.
    How does it fit for layering?
    It is cut to layer over a base layer or thin fleece and under a shell. Owners say it runs true to size.
    Does it have a hood?
    No. The jacket has a fleece-lined inner neck but no hood, so bring a beanie or hooded shell.
    Is it down or synthetic?
    It uses synthetic insulation, which keeps some warmth when damp and is easier to care for than down.
    What is it best compared with?
    Against a plain fleece it is warmer and more wind-resistant; against a down jacket it is less warm but more flexible and better for active layering.
    Where is the 686 Men's Thermal Puff Jacket cheapest?
