Aether Loft Jacket
“With the Loft Jacket, we took our passion for motorcycles and fused it with our love for winter, resulting in a moto-inspired down jacket made of a Japanese three-layer nylon shell that locks out the cold while still managing to be breathable. This slim-fitting jacket with an adjustable bottom hem contains 800-fill gray-goose down to keep you incredibly warm.”
