However personal as it started, the number has now become synonymous with providing innovative, forward thinking outerwear and technical apparel inspired by the outdoors and mountain culture.Ħ86 Technical Apparel continues to be independently owned and operated since 1992.Unique with its NASA logo, the NASA HYDRA THERMAGRAPH by 686 is a men's snowboard jacket for space and astronomy enthusiasts. There have been a lot of rumors about the meaning of 686, but 686 stems from personal dates and numbers in Mike's life that all merged together at the perfect time. The name “686” has its roots in numerics. The SMARTY ® 3-in-1 purposeful proposition later spawned other intelligent products such as the Original Toolbelt and Thermagraph ® Body Mapping System that are still in the collection today. 1995 also saw the birth of the 686 SMARTY ® 3-in-1 Cargo Pant. In 1995 Jib 686 Enterprises became 686 Enterprises as Mike began to travel to larger mountains and encountered a scene and riding conditions vastly different from and far larger than the jib scene of his local resort, Big Bear. What began as a class project during his time at the University of Southern California was now a reality. On NovemMike officially launched Jib 686 Enterprises, a small collection of denim, technical outerwear and accessories. Throughout the following years, Mike transitioned from skateboarding to snowboarding, working and riding in Big Bear, CA and continually gathering and exploring new ideas including unique apparel based around the southern California snowboard scene. The freedom that skateboarding provided birthed a lifelong quest for freedom of expression through all forms of mediums. Since 686 founder, Michael Akira West, first stepped on a skateboard as a youth in the early eighties, he immediately had a new addiction and inspiration. Each piece is uniquely crafted to provide more than you expect and push your experience beyond what you thought possible.
All 686 products are created with the goal of pushing current boundaries of design, construction and interaction. We believe that life should be lived without limits and that your choice of technical apparel should reflect this.
