Summary
The 686 Hydra Thermagraph Jacket has specially mapped insulation around the core of your body. This creates a very warm jacket that doesn't feel too bulky. The waterproofing rating is 20k and the brethability is 15k. Davey liked the asymmetrical zipper, while James found the zipper track to be catchy. Really depends on personal preference. This could be an ideal resort jacket for the right person. We recommend, if possible, trying this jacket on for proper sizing.Where To Buy

686 Hydra Thermagraph Jacket Past Reviews
The 686 Hydra Thermagraph Jacket has an asymmetrical collar that I personally didn’t care for much but the rest of the jacket works pretty well.
