686 Mens 2.5L Ghost Pants Dark Earth Ripstop
A lightweight, loose-fitting shell pant combining retro styling with reliable weather protection and reinforced durability.
The 686 Ghost 2.5L Pant is designed for skiers and snowboarders who prefer a relaxed, team-inspired silhouette with plenty of freedom to move. Its lightweight shell construction makes it a versatile choice for layering across changing winter conditions.
686's 2.5-layer infiDRY 10K fabric provides dependable waterproof and breathable protection without adding bulky insulation. Fully taped seams and a PFAS-free water-repellent finish help prevent moisture from entering, while Air-Flo inner-leg vents allow excess heat to escape during active riding.
The loose fit provides generous room through the seat, thigh and leg, with reinforced knees adding durability in a critical wear area. An integrated belt, elastic cuffs, boot hooks and secure zipped pockets complete its practical mountain-ready design.

FIT & SIZING
686 describes the Ghost as a loose fit with substantially more room for layering and a less restrictive feel. The generous cut through the hip, thigh and leg supports unrestricted movement and creates its relaxed, retro-inspired silhouette. Most wearers find the garment true to size. Although the styling is gender inclusive, it follows a men's size scale; customers using women's sizing are advised by 686 to choose one size smaller than their usual women's size.
