This extended length system built into youth 686 jackets and pants allows you get more use out of your child’s snowboard wear. On jackets, a red thread on the inside of the sleeve, just above the cuff, holds extra material that can be pulled down once the thread is removed. A similar thread holds extra length in both the pant leg, and boot gaiter as well. Removal of these threads yields an extra 1.5-2 inches of length in the jacket sleeves and pant legs. Systems like this are great when your child needs outerwear that can grow with them.
