To celebrate their 20th anniversary, 686 teamed up with Toyota to create the 686 x Scion Numeric- a snowboarding concept car that’ll blow your mind. The brand’s founder Mike West worked with 20 other industry leaders to design the ultimate winter vehicle. Anyone who’s worn 686 outerwear can vouch for West’s dedication to functional, innovative gear, but this rally-inspired XB took his “everything has a purpose” mindset to a whole new level.
The Numeric features:
Snow-specific tires w/ offroad treads by New Balance
Sound system designed & engineered by Skullcandy
iPad-controlled audio & navigation on custom Rokform cradle
Dragon APX frameless goggle windshield
Heated floor mats by Freewaters footwear
Sparco swivel bucket seats that mimic Union Binding Co.’s high-back cups
“Dial-in” heating & cooling controls by BOA technology
Protective, carbon fiber helmet roof by Bern Unlimited
Lightforce custom grill
Interior graphics by Marc Mckee of Blind Skateboards
RECCO 2-part Avalanche Rescue System
Interior clock by Vestal watches
Visual racing mirrors & interior mapping by GoPro
Waterproof/breathable fabric exterior wrapping by 686
