Futuristic Winter Gear on Melrose
Well, we had a good run.
January was full of amazing 80-degree days. But tomorrow’s February, when you can expect more blustery
60-degree temps like today.
Time to warm up. On Melrose. With jackets that look like they’re from 2055.
Welcome to
Aether Outpost,
a secret shop filled with futuristic gear to get you through a Mammoth weekend or a sort of chilly LA
evening, now open by appointment only.
Call them up or shoot them an email, and they’ll welcome you into this covert little space. And it may not
look like anything unusual once you’re inside—there are racks, and there are clothes on the racks.
But look closer, and you’ll see that they’ve got the kind of coats you want. That is, functional enough
to keep you warm on the slopes—think PrimaLoft insulation, microfiber ripstop lining and other
super-technical stuff, plus hidden phone pockets—yet slim-cut enough that you won’t look like a
Christmas ham when you summon an après-slopes hot toddy at the lodge.
Note: if you pay them a visit this weekend, you’ll also find them unloading a bunch of jackets and such
from prior seasons.
And you can never have too much such.
