Waterproof AETHER Expedition Jacket

AETHER Expedition Motorcycle Jacket

Field tested in the backcountry of British Columbia, the AETHER Expedition Motorcycle Jacket is designed for long-haul touring and made from a 3-layer abrasion-resistant, waterproof, and surprisingly breathable Japanese field nylon. This fabric has been doubled layered in critical impact areas along the shoulders, sleeves, and back for additional protection. The Expedition jacket is fully seam sealed, making the entire garment waterproof on its own. 

Designed with the ergonomics of long distance touring in mind, the Expedition is constructed with articulated elbows and shoulders for ease of movement. Two-way zipper and interior bottom hem cord allows you to adjust how the jacket sits while in the seated position. Adjustable VELCRO® brand closures straps at the waist, bicep, and forearm allow the jacket to be cinched down or loosened for layering underneath, while VELCRO® brand closures cuffs can be adjusted to accommodate gauntlet or short gloves. 

The Expedition jacket is designed to vent like no other. Two half-body chest vents run from the shoulders to waist, pit-zip vents run from elbow to waist, two half-body back vents, and forearm pockets with mesh liners, allow for ample airflow throughout the jacket. 

It also features a lot of storage options, including: a zippered right chest pocket, zippered arm pocket, front drop pocket, zippered front pocket, and two zippered hand pockets, and large lower back pocket. A hidden interior pocket also gives you a place to store critical valuables, like a passport and pertinent travel documents.

Sizing Note: RevZilla has found that production versions of the Expedition jacket do not run quite as large as indicated with the sample in the video. Sizing down is only recommended if your chest measurement lands on the lower edge of a size range (e.g. Order a MD with a 41 inch chest, not a LG).

Note: Armor is included, but does not come installed.
