This is a look at the 686 Upton Insulated Anorak. This color way is a collaboration between Grateful Dead and 686. The Upton jacket comes with 10k waterproofing and 10k breathability. It is fully insulated with 60g of insulation in the body and sleeves. The fit is somewhat baggy, but the arms were too short for my arm length. Better for people with sorter arms. Other than that, it was comfortable to wear for me.
