686 Athena Insulated 2023 - 2019 Review by The Good Ride
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.

How This Review Happened: We borrowed this from Gravity Sports at Mt Bachelor to check out the fit and features.
