Just landed at J. Crew: four select styles of Aether Apparel—our favorite men's performance outerwear that does not come in douchey neons and silly colorblocks. Hello jet black snowboarding jacket that you can wear on the mountain and at a swishy bar. Available online at JCrew.com and at J. Crew's three dedicated men's shops in Manhattan beginning this month are, from left:

The Stormy Jacket in jet black: heavy-duty, but slim-fitting, and rain-and-wind-blocking. Features articulation points at the elbow for movement. The Barrier Jacket in jet black: A super-warm jacket made of rugged waxed cotton and ultra-soft mini-ripstop on the inside. Feels plush and luxe.

The Cloud Jacket in dark shadow: It's got sealed seams, which means it's watertight, and insulated with primaloft, which means it's extra-warm. Its extra-light packable-ness makes it the perfect travel companion.

The Space Hoodie in jet black: A great layering or wear-alone piece made of ultra-fine ripstop poly.
