Is the 686 Deconstructed Denim Pant warm enough for cold days?

It has 40g infiLOFT insulation in the body, which is on the light side. It works well on mild to moderate days or with a warm baselayer, but very cold riders may want more insulation.

Is it actually waterproof?

Yes. It uses a 2-layer infiDRY 10K fabric with a PFAS-free DWR. That is solid for typical snow and slush, though it is not the highest waterproof rating available.

Does it attach to a jacket?

Yes. The Pant Jacket Connect system lets it snap to compatible 686 jackets to keep snow out.

What boots work with the gaiters?

The gaiters are BOA-compatible and include a boot lace hook, so they work with most snowboard boots, including BOA systems.

Yes. Air-Flo inner leg vents let you dump heat on warmer laps or during hikes.

Our take on the 686 Women's Deconstructed Denim Insulated Pant

The 686 Deconstructed Denim Insulated Pant is a snowboard pant built to look like worn jeans while keeping you dry on the hill. It uses a 2-layer infiDRY 10K waterproof, breathable fabric with a PFAS-free DWR and 40g infiLOFT polyfill in the body, so it is lightly insulated rather than heavily padded. Seven pockets, inner leg vents and BOA-compatible gaiters round it out. It suits riders who want street-style denim looks with real weather protection, and it trades the warmth and burliness of a heavily insulated resort pant for a lighter, more casual feel.
