Summary
The 686 Athena Jacket is a good jacket for someone who gets cold temps but doesn't like storm riding. The Athena is well insulated (80g body, 60g sleeves, 40g hood) but it has an average waterproof rating of 10k. It can get you by in some weather but probably will get a little soaked through in wetter snow conditions.Where To Buy
