686 Plexus 3 Ply Snowboard Pant Review

$290
We love anything with 3 layers but we do have some minor issues with 686. To start off with lets address the good. The 3 layer pant means one more barrier between you and the elements. We would take a 3 Layer 20K waterproof over a 2 Layer 30K waterproof any day. Much of their gear is well built and pretty sturdy. However the Plexus material is not the same as the more sturdy smarty line. It seems to have less resistance to tears compared to some of the other pants in their line. It is definitely a shell so don't think you will get warmth out of this. There isn't even a lining but we expect this from 3 layer pants and so should you. We always see these user reviews on shells that say it isn't warm. These people are sofakingwetaded! This is a layer and it's function is to keep you dry....not warm. It will also block wind but you need a good layer below to keep your heat in. The fit of these pants is loose but not baggy. Its a very flattering cut for people with short legs like the editor. This is a great choice for someone who is constantly moving, likes to hike or likes a thin very waterproof layer. It also offers good waterproofing for the price. If you are someone who rides hard and rough there might be better pants out there for you because these require more care than your average pants.
