The 686 Smarty Complete 2.5 Ply Jacket—The ‘swiff, swiff’ of powder hitting protection is what you can expect from this versatile Smarty Complete 2.5 Ply Jacket by 686. With fabric that sheds water like a proverbial duck’s back, adjustable cuffs, and a zip-off removable hood, you’re day is covered. And if it weren’t enough that you’ll be sailing through pow or owning the park in such a bad ass Jacket, The Smarty Complete 2.5 Ply Jacket comes with a Fleece Smarty Liner. Yes guys, this means that the base layer is also included. That’s three things you need for a good day no matter the conditions. Three layers means the weather can bring it, and you’ll still be reclining in fleece. And if the night calls for hanging out and greasy food? Just take off your outer jacket and you’ll be set for some indoor relaxation.

"Contrary to what others write, i feel that it does not have enough pockets. The inside ones are lost if you use the liner. The chest pocket is NOT one.
