AirLoft Quilted Jacket – $230

The AirLoft Quilted Jacket has, quite simply, a ton going on for it. Made with four-way stretch insulation and what the brand calls “continuous fiber technology,” this handsome, rugged shirt jacket features room for your everyday carry (thanks to front chest pockets), plus room to layer over your favorite henley (get yours here). Wear it on a day hike, then keep it handy for brews and bites afterward.

AirLight Western Shirt in Washed Denim – $109

Most denim shirts can feel a little too hefty — that’s not the case with the light-as-can-be AirLight Western Shirt. Featuring a blend of polyester and texturized nylon — the brand’s AirLight cloth — this shirt combines the traditional styling and hard-wearing appeal of a classic denim shirt, with the functionality and performance you need to head to the hills.

AT Slim Rivet Pant in Sandstone – $129

If you’ve layered up with a shirt jacket and a denim shirt from Western Rise, what are you wearing on your bottom half? That’s easy: the Slim Rivet Pant. The brand searched day and night for the right type of cut and construction to turn these five-pocket pants into an “anywhere, any time” pair. At first glance, they’ve succeeded. Yhat’s due in part to the use of water-repellent, stretch nylon canvas in a tailored-yet-not-tight fit. These pants are our Associate Editor’s new favorite for travel, and we know they’ll be yours too.

DryWeight Merino Henley in Clay – $98

Start off your next adventure-ready outfit the right way — with a breathable, performance-minded henley that’s equal parts style and substance. The brand blended TENCEL fabric with wool for a henley you’ll want to wear day in and day out. The best part is that it looks just as sharp with a denim jacket and leather boots for a day of city exploration as it does with a winter parka for a cold-weather hike.

After devastating wildfires that plagued the Los Angeles area in January 2025, it didn’t take long for brands to jump in on the action. These wildfires, which burned over 180,000 acres according to Cal Fire, brought massive destruction and fatalities to the areas of Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, and more. While the wildfires are long gone, residents of these locations are still reeling to get back on their feet. 

In response to the devastation, Oliver Peoples has collaborated with contemporary artist Alex Israel on a special edition of the brand’s Oliver Sun frames. To help aid victims, 100% of sales will be donated to the Steadfast LA Foundation’s Modular Housing Initiative, which is currently assisting underinsured residents in getting back on track in their communities. With an accompanying campaign featuring Miranda Kerr, DJ Diplo, and Eric Nam, this project highlights what makes Los Angeles a home to these artists.
