Notice how all the other bros are sporting the disheveled-party-flannel look to the bars these days? Probably time to upgrade your après attire and you might as well go all in with the Arc’teryx Veilance Blazer. You heard correctly. Arc’teryx, makers of outdoor apparel and outerwear, moonlights in the world of men’s upscale lifestyle clothing. But true to form, they add a technical spin to each piece. The blazer is lightly insulated and made from a lightweight, four-way-stretch softshell material finished with a DWR coating, which means you’ll be sheltered from the elements and look ridiculously good while weathering them. Water—or the Bud Light spillage from the drunk guy at the bar next to you—beads right off this durable jacket. It resists stains, keeps your temperature well regulated, and can be chucked right in the washing machine with your darks. Wear it for après at your local hill, a night on the town, or to the office, and eyes from the fairer sex will surely wander in your direction. And because it’s from Arc’teryx, the same company that makes your backcountry hard shell, the blazer doesn’t feel like a sell out of your ski bum roots, rather, it’s a calculated improvement upon them.
