"686 LEVI"
Pros: Very Warm, Good waterproofing, Nice insulation.,
Cons: None,
I purchased this in the LT Grey colour. It fits perfectly and is very warm jacket. It is insulated in the right areas and has enough pockets. Im not a fan of the fur hood so its great that this was removable. Very impressed with this 686 product.

"Awesome jacket!!"
Pros: colour/texture , lots of pockets and storage room,
Cons: bulky under the arms,
This is my first snowboarding jacket purchase, and I have to say, I'm really impressed! I got the light grey because it was the only one left in M, and although it can look at little bulky, it's perfect if you want to layer underneath. The Aus snow season hasn't started yet, so I've only tried this on at home.
I'm finding the bit under the armpits a little stiff/bulky, but I guess it's cos of the zipped vents. I thought this jacket might be a little short as I'm really paranoid about snow getting in underneath, so I'm glad they have an elasticised gaiter thingy along the bottom band. I can see the fur trim getting a little annoying, especially once it's wet, so I'm glad it's detachable.
The other thing that's really nice is that once you have it fully zipped up, the top zipper part that covers your chin is lined and super soft - I was surprised at how comfortable it was!
Oh I love the texture; the dots are so cute! You can wear this jacket on and off the slopes. So, overall a great jacket!

"Cute!"
Pros: Cute and funky ,
Cons: Too baggy,
This is my first 686 and it's gorgeous! The jacket looks exactly like the image posted on this site. I'm writing this review to warn people of the sizing. I'm normally a size 10/small-medium and usually like my jacket or jumper slightly baggy. This jacket is way too big and am thinking of exchanging it. I'm unable to write a detailed review about the specs of the jacket because it's not snowing in Australia as yet. I thought I should caution those who are the same size as me to perhaps go a size lower. To give you an idea of my size, I'm 160cm tall and weigh around 55kg. My friend bought a similar jacket last year, also a 686 and she said it's really warm and keeps her dry throughout the whole day. Her jacket is similar to this one. Hope this helps.

"Great Warm Jacket"
Pros: Warm as, hood, great design/look
Cons:
This paired with teh Smarty Cargo are an awesome combination. The hood can be a little annoying at times, so I tend to take it off. The design of this jacket is excellent and very fashionable on mountain. You could wear it as Apres easily. 686 make great quality outerwear in a design and sizing that suits me well

"Warm, Well Insulated, and Cute!"
Pros: Cute, Comfortable, Thick, warm
Cons: Sleeves are long,
Cute jacket, while still warm and very functional. I had a hard time choosing a jacket on the website, because I couldn't tell how thin or insulated all the jackets were. I am glad I chose this one!! Like most 686 jackets, this jacket is on the thicker side (not thin like most Burton jackets), and yet it is still fashionable... no looking like a marshmallow!
High quality, and very warm. I wore it during a snow storm with under armour and a sweatshirt, and I was never cold... will skip the layers next time. This jacket well if you want to layer, can go a size smaller if you want a slim fit. I am 5'3, 115lbs, and busty -- I might have been able to get XS if I didn't want to layer, but the S was perfect for me in case I do want to. Runs between just right and too big.
