686 Men's GORE-TEX® Dispatch™ Shell Pant 2027

The 686 Men's GORE-TEX® Dispatch™ Shell Pant 2027 is a durable backcountry-ready shell pant built with 2-layer bluesign® approved GORE-TEX 100% recycled nylon fabric, PFAS-free DWR, fully taped GORE-TEX seams, Air-Flo™ inner-leg vents, 500D reinforcements, and a 5-pocket design for storm protection without the bib upper.

Dispatch Bib Performance in a Pant

• GORE-TEX® Weather Protection: Durable 2-layer GORE-TEX fabric helps keep snow, wind, and wet weather out while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
• Backcountry-Inspired Design: Built from 686’s best-selling Dispatch bib platform, this pant keeps the durable lower-half construction for riders who prefer pants over bibs.
• Fully Taped GORE-TEX Seams: Complete seam sealing helps block moisture entry through stitched areas for dependable storm-day protection.
• Air-Flo™ Inner-Leg Vents: Cross-venting inner-leg zippers help dump heat on the skin track, during hikes, or when resort laps warm up.
• 500D Reinforcement: Reinforced knees, inner kick panels, and bottom hem facing add durability in high-wear zones.
• Functional Mountain Storage: Waterproof hand pocket zippers, thigh cargo storage, an internal key clip, lift-ticket eyelet, and 5 total pockets keep essentials secure.

Ideal For

Men who ski, snowboard, splitboard, tour, or ride long resort days and want premium storm protection in a pant instead of a bib. The GORE-TEX® Dispatch™ Shell Pant is best for backcountry missions, powder days, wet storms, hard-wearing resort use, and riders who want durable protection with practical ventilation and reinforced construction.
