686 Gateway Shell Men’s Jacket 2026

The 686 Gateway Shell is built with everything you need for a full day on the mountain—and nothing you don’t. With a minimalist design and relaxed fit, it delivers easy comfort and layering space, while a cinchable hem lets you adjust the fit to your liking.

Don’t let the clean look fool you—this shell is packed with 686’s mountain-proven tech. The infiDRY® 20K waterproof/15K breathable fabric with PFAS-free DWR keeps you dry in storm conditions while staying breathable on high-output rides. Fully taped Bemis® seams, a water-resistant front zip, and an attached powder skirt lock out wind and snow.
