The 686 Men's GORE-TEX® Dispatch™ Shell Bib 2027 is a stormproof, backcountry-ready bib built with 2-layer bluesign® approved GORE-TEX® 100% recycled nylon fabric, PFAS-free DWR, fully taped GORE-TEX® seams, strategic cross-venting, 500D reinforcements, and a 9-pocket layout for deep days, long resort seasons, and high-output riding.

Storm Protection Built to Last

• GORE-TEX® Weatherproofing: Durable 2-layer GORE-TEX® fabric delivers premium waterproof-breathable protection for harsh snow, wind, and wet winter conditions.
• PFAS-Free DWR: A PFAS-free durable water-repellent finish helps moisture bead off the recycled nylon face fabric.
• Cross-Venting Airflow: Air-Flo™ inner-leg vents and hip venting create airflow through the bib to help regulate temperature on bootpacks, hikes, and warmer storm days.
• Fully Taped GORE-TEX® Seams: Complete seam sealing helps prevent moisture intrusion through stitched areas for maximum weather protection.
• Built-In Durability: 500D reinforced knees, 500D reinforced inner kick panels, and 500D bottom-hem inner facing add abrasion resistance where bibs take the most abuse.
• Guide-Tested Utility: Adjustable elastic shoulder straps, back stretch panel, BOA®-compatible gaiters, waterproof zippered storage, chest pocket key clip, and 9 total pockets keep essentials organized in demanding conditions.
