FAQ

Q1: How does 686 sizing run — true to size, or should I size up/down (and does it accommodate a base/mid-layer)?
The Willow Jacket has an Articulated Regular fit that most riders find true to size, with room for a base and light mid-layer underneath. Our team can help you dial in sizing in-store based on your layering plans.

Q2: Is this jacket warm and waterproof enough for deep Okanagan powder days at Big White or SilverStar?
Yes — the GORE-TEX membrane guarantees waterproof, breathable protection through sustained storm skiing and wet Okanagan snow, while the light infiLOFT insulation and Air-Flo underarm vents keep you comfortable without overheating.

Q3: How do I care for the GORE-TEX fabric to maintain waterproofing and breathability?
Machine wash with a technical detergent like Nikwax Tech Wash (avoid regular detergent), rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the PFAS-free DWR coating. Periodic reproofing will keep water beading off the surface.
