Gear Review: Picture Aeron Ski Jacket

Shallan Knowles — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 20:02:26 +0000

This three-layer, full stretch ski shell is super versatile and the perfect jacket for both wintery skin tracks where you’ll want to keep warm without sweating out, days when you’ll want to layer up under a shell to easily adjust to changing conditions, and warmer-weather resort days.

But what really sets the Aeron jacket apart is its footprint on the planet. The jacket is built with the first bio-based technical fabric made from a combination of sugarcane waste and recycled PET. These eco-innovations are part of Picture’s quest to wipe out fossil fuels and help reign in climate change.

The super strong “20k/20k DRYPLAY membrane” that makes the Aeron a highly rated waterproof and breathable shell is also made with recycled PET and the DWR treatment is PFC-free, allowing the jacket to shed water without nasty chemicals.

And it’s a beautiful ski jacket that comes with all of the features (underarm vents, wrist gators, adjustable hood, goggle cleaner in chest pocket, ski pass pocket, etc.) you could want.

MSRP: $399.99. Picture-organic-clothing.com

California Cowboy High Sierra Shirt

Derrick Knowles — Tue, 05 Jan 2021 20:55:55 +0000

“Meet the first and only shirt ever designed specially to enhance your ability to destroy Après.” California Cowboy’s promotional verbiage is witty and spot-on representative of their style and function.

The High Sierra Shirt is a luxury flannel made of super soft cotton with a thermal lining, plus a ton of other features I had never thought I needed but totally appreciate and use—features such as a bottle opener pocket, a dry pocket that’s lined to keep phones from getting wet (from spilled beer, rainstorms, and falling in snow banks, I guess), a bottle or can beverage holder pocket, a loop on the inside of the jacket for hanging gloves, a pen pocket, and a loop for hanging sunglasses on the front of the jacket.

This deluxe, handsome flannel will be a favorite for years to come.

MSRP: $148. Shop.californiacowboy.com
