The first thing you should know about puffy jackets is that not all puffy jackets are created equal. Never has this been more apparent than with AETHER's Launch Jacket. Unlike traditional puffys, where the baffles are stitched into the fabric (putting tiny holes in the shell and the liner), the Launch Jacket makes use of pre-baffled fabric that comes knitted that way from the mill. This eliminates cold spots created by drafts through the tiny stitch holes and also prevents goose down feathers from sneaking out of the jacket. Further adding to the Launch's technical chops are the 800-fill-power down and a healthy dose of stretch provided by the 84 percent nylon, 16 percent spandex construction. But what's better yet is that AETHER offers a lifetime manufacturing guarantee on the jacket — get ready for the Launch to quickly become your winter go-to. Buy Now: $425
