686 Uzi jacket - Snowboarding Forum

JeffreyCH · 12-03-2010, 02:56 PM

I found one of these used for 50 bucks. Going to look at it this weekend. If I buy it, it will be my first "real" snowboarding jacket. Are these good? It's an xl, I'm 6'0" 225 fairly long arms, do these fit loose or smaller? $50 seems like a pretty good deal, even if it's not one of my favorite colors(tan/khaki). The guy bought it last year for a trip he never ended up taking and only wore it a few times. I've read that 686 makes some good stuff, and the Uzi jacket retails for around 250. Any thoughts, experiences, complaints about this jacket?

No one 'eh? Maybe I should have asked if this jacket will make my butt look big? Or if I'll have to replace all my other gear since everything else I have is black?
