This Jacket Loves the Cold

Headed to the ski fields of New Zealand or the hiking trails of Patagonia? You’ll need the right jacket. Fortunately, The Passage Jacket by Aether Apparel is designed with cold climates in mind.

There’s only one thing worse than not being dressed for an occasion, and that’s not being dressed for the weather. Nothing ruins a day out, on the slopes, in the zodiacs, or on the trail, like the shivers. But thanks to a new lightweight outer shell, that’s easily fixed.

Made with a three-layer melange hard-shell with a subtle heather that’s impervious to wind and snow, The Passage Jacket by Aether Apparel ensures you look and feel toasty no matter how cold the temperature. The jacket features sophisticated box quilting, a stand collar and an adjustable and detachable hood while finger loops on the front placket enable the wearer to easily snap the jacket together with gloves on.

Storage includes a hidden Napoleon pocket, zippered hand pockets, and zippered gussets at the cuffs while a dedicated interior media pocket also includes an audio valve for headphones. Outfitted with 200-gram PrimaLoft Gold—which has the highest warmth-to-weight ratio of any synthetic insulation—the Passage is incredibly warm and yet still lightweight with a slim, modern silhouette.
