686 Allure Jacket - Women's
Gorgeous 686 Snowboard Jacket 10,000/8,000
By rac5301331 November 21, 2012
Ladies, this gorgeous 686 "allure" aka mannual jacket is 10,000/8,000 and super stylish. The jacket runs a tiny bit longer in the arms and torso than the other small 686 jackets I own, however, I think that's the style. (I stand 5'5 and weigh 118 lbs for size comparison). The turquoise color is brighter than the picture and looks amazing in person. The jacket has pit zippers with tucked in mesh armpits (higher quality jacket feature), two lined/zippered pockets and an adjustable hood. Usually, I cut out my powder skirt but this jacket offers snaps to tuck the powder skirt up and away. If you are not familiar with waterproofing.. it boils down to each 1,000 = 1 hour. This jacket should keep you warm and dry while riding for 10 hours; that's a long time. The jacket is not super bulky, not super light..it's like goldylock's jacket "just right" and super warm! The left inside of the jacket has a clear zippered pocket with a headphones slit and a giant mesh pocket on the right side. The bottom of the jacket can be cinched tighter with the pull cord to keep snow out while riding. For $70 this jacket will keep you warm, stylish and happy while shredding on the mountain.

It's the blue (turqoise) color it looks lighter in the picture. In person the color is a darker aqua. Hope that helps.

Hi, are you wearing the acid color or it's a different green ( because it appears darker than the one on the site's photo) thanks!
