Aether Apparel

Rex Jacket

$625.00

Aether’s Rex Jacket is a head-turner for many reasons. The Midas Orange colorway (though it’s also available in black or olive green) is a rich, poppy tone that garners attention. A closer look reveals a texture unlike any puffer we’ve seen, given its intriguing bonded pattern. The fact that it’s trim, lightweight, wind- and water-resistant while keeping you warm on the harshest winter days is almost miraculous. The design details are thoroughly considered and the comfy neck and pocket linings round out the extreme coziness.
