Pros: I love this jacket. I have owned lots of 686 gear in the past and it has always been top notch. The waterproofing is excellent and if you have 686 pants the powder skirt will snap into them. Goggle stash pocket is great if you ride with multiple goggles for varying lighting.

Pros: Super Comfy, The vents line up perfectly with my Smith Phenom Goggles. Removable liner.

Other Thoughts: Skull Candy audio hooks up work well with these.

Pros: I use the bindings on my freeride board. The bushings really help dampen vibrations and chatter giving your snowboard a really damp feel. They are also extremely cusomizeable

Cons: The leather on the straps will start to look pretty beat up cosmetically however it seems to take a lot of abuse.
