Jackets & Outerwear

$495

The verdict

A lightweight layer at $495; positioned as a racing-inspired piece, it's slim and packable but not a standalone winter jacket.

Fit

Racing cuts are notoriously slim; expect a snug fit through the chest and shoulders. This is a layering piece, not a roomy outer shell.

Quality

Lighter weight than trekker or traveler lines. At this price, expect basic nylon and standard construction — appropriate for spring/fall or base layering.

Price check

Fair value for a packable, lightweight layer. Not a premium garment; priced fairly for the niche use case.

Best for

Athletes and minimalist packagers seeking a slim, compact layer for temperate weather or over-layering.

Care

Check care label; lighter shells can be sensitive to heat. Hang-dry to preserve shape and any water resistance.

What owners report about Aviator Nation jackets & outerwear

Coverage of Aviator Nation's outerwear centers on its tri-blend fleece pieces — hoodies, half-zips and zip jackets. Owners consistently describe the fleece as very soft and comfortable, hand-sewn in the brand's Los Angeles factory, and some report pieces holding up through months of frequent wear. Recurring complaints are about care and quality control: reviewers report dye bleeding in the wash, shrinkage, fabric that stains easily, defects on arrival, and a frustrating exchange policy — problems buyers find hard to accept at the price. Verdicts split between repeat purchasers who call the pieces worth the cost and owners who feel they paid for the name.

Strengths: Softness, comfort and the distinctive made-in-LA stitching are what owners praise most and what drives repeat purchases.
Watch out for: Dye bleed, shrinkage and easy staining in the wash are the most repeated failures, compounded by high prices and a strict exchange policy.
Sizing: Sizing is unisex; blogger fit reviews call the fleece true to size, with petite buyers staying at the smallest end of the XS-XXL range rather than sizing down further.
