clothing manufacturer. On November 13, 1992, the 686 clothing company was formed. The 686 name comes from a crucial date in the life of Mike's grandmother (June 6th, 1986) and adds up to his age when he started the company. Since the beginning, 686 has been all about providing the riding community innovative and fashionable outerwear and technical clothing inspired directly from the same Los Angeles urban and artistic principals it was founded upon. The company's "more than you expected" philosophy of providing progressive and fashion forward designs is well known. Products like the trademarked SMARTY Technology line of removable 3-in-1 liners, the trademarked TIMES line of limited edition co-branded products, the trademarked ACC line of collaborative artist projects, the trademarked PLEXUS Technology line of minimalist shell technology, the patentedToolbelt line of functional belts, and technical fabric and waterproof innovations all make up the 686 name. Being independently rider-owned and operated as well as an obsession to make products progressively unique is what 686 is all about.Team
