686 Mens Standard Pants Black
A straightforward men’s shell pant with dependable 10K waterproofing, a comfortable regular fit and the essential features needed for resort skiing and snowboarding.
The 686 Standard Shell Pant is designed for riders who want reliable mountain protection without unnecessary complication. Its uninsulated construction provides the flexibility to adjust warmth using your own base and mid layers, making it suitable for a wide range of winter temperatures.
The two-layer infiDRY nylon fabric delivers 10,000mm waterproofing and uses a PFAS-free durable water-repellent finish to help shed moisture from the surface. Critically taped Bemis seams protect the areas most exposed to snow and water, while the windproof shell provides an additional barrier in colder conditions.
A regular fit provides comfortable space for movement and layering without feeling excessively loose. Air-Flo inner-leg vents help control temperature, boot gaiters keep snow away from the boots, and a five-pocket layout provides practical storage for everyday mountain use.
