Specialized 686 X Tech Insulator Jacket in Yellow

Whether you're fat biking or exploring in the backcountry this winter you'll benefit from the fruits of the Specialized collaboration with 686. In this case we're talking about the all-new 686 x Specialized tech insulator.

Starting at the exterior you'll find that the tech insulator is constructed from a woven fabric that's been given a dwr coating making it water-resistant. Moving beyond this layer of the jacket Specialized incorporated 100g primaloft insulation to keep you consistently warm both under effort and when relaxed. Primaloft was chosen for its ultralight weight breathability pack-ability and high warmth-to-weight ratio.

Essentially this all adds up to a dependable insulation layer that will never leave you feeling clammy or cold. Furthering this the jacket includes an adjustable hood for when conditions get particularly cold as well as lycra wrist gaiters that interface perfectly with gloves. And knowing that this jacket will most likely be used in nasty conditions it also features a foldout spray skirt and 3m reflective trims that will increase your visibility to other riders and motorists in low-light conditions.

In terms of fit and feel underarm stretch panels have been incorporated in order to promote a complete uninhibited range of motion while riding or hiking the bike. It's also been given our relaxed fit which means that it will fit loosely on the body to leave plenty of room for additional layers. Storage of your ride essentials will be handled by internal mesh storage pockets and there's also a Swat access pocket at the rear for use with our Swat bib shorts or other swat-equipped pieces in the 686 x Specialized line of clothing
