You don’t have worry too much about lack of oxygen either, because there are “air holes” located in the hood, nose and ear areas. I imagine this means that rain and snow could get into the safe confines of the puffy jacket, but it should be pretty minimal. Then
again, this is probably more of a fashion statement than being one of the actual best jackets for the slopes.It’s not particularly heavy jacket weather here in New York City just yet, but it is Halloween season and if you want clothes that can double as a costume, this silly yet practical down jacket might be the apparel you’re looking for. The Matt Nylon Hooded Jacket, by Ai Riders On The Storm, is your average puffer, except with a zipper that goes all the way up your head with a goggle and air holes at the nose and ears so you never have to face the brisk wind … ever.
There are some practicality to this odd-looking down jacket. Obviously, winter sport enthusiasts will find the jacket a great accessory for avoiding snow in the face and thieves will use it to disguise themselves in a high fashion allure. Wanna look like a fly on the wall? Zip up the hoodie around your face and no one will want to come up to talk to you while you’re in your own world. It’s the best way to be emo without looking like one. If you’re not a fan of the black lens, you also have the option of switching to different colored ones to fit your day’s activity. The idea of allowing skateboarders to use bike lanes on city streets will get a public airing in Eugene this week.
At last Ai Riders On The Storm has salopettes to match its eVent Latok and Latok Alpine shell jackets. Made from eVent, the salopettes have a Schoeller Dynamic bib section for improved breathability and fit, there are heavier weight reinforcements on knees and seat and Schoeller Keptrotec crampon patches should minimise damage from clumsy point placement.The collection, coming with customized label and packaging, will be exclusively available starting from Dec. 6 at Ai Riders On The Storm boutiques in luxury ski resorts across Europe and U.S.There are air holes at the nose and ears so you can breath and hear even when you're all zipped up. As warm and cozy as the jacket appears to be, it's also delightfully creepy and dark. It's what Bruce Wayne would wear on a ski trip to Aspen.Remember a few years ago when those hoodies by A Bathing Ape were hugely popular? They had zippers that went all the way up to the top of the hood, completely enclosing your head so that you could look like a shark or something? You could almost say that this puffy jacket from Ai Riders On the Storm is borrowing a page from A Bathing Ape, but they’ve added in a fully functional polycarbonate ski mask that’s integrated into the hood.
The detachable hood features quick swap lenses which come in clear, smoke, gold, and mirror to combat the elements or create a custom look. Thankfully the pom pom is a detachable option – we’d hate to look like a douche.Available for both men and women, prices start at $289 for the lightweight nylon version and run up to $492 for the heavier down version featured above.Secretly, I want to carry a
superhero costume with me at all times. I want to be able to step into a phone booth (if they exist anymore) and step out as the Masked Avenger. For $492, my fantasy could come true with the AI Riders on the Storm down jacket.
The jacket sounds pretty much like a regular coat with specs that include a two-way zipper and down stuffing. Look up, though, and things start to get weird. It has a detachable hood with built-in bug-eyed goggles that zip together right up the middle. Freaky, man.
