Le Mont St Michel Washed work jacket x Blitz ($290)

Multi-purpose and supremely stylish, we love this Le Mont St Michel Washed work jacket x Blitz ($290) here at Coolector HQ.

BeardedGoat Foundry Jacket ($128)

A great looking, lightweight work jacket which is an ideal layer on it’s own or over warmer gear, what’s not to like about the BeardedGoat Foundry Jacket ($128). It is crafted from a cotton and spandex blend that allows for plenty of movement and it is tough enough to handle itself in the shop, but is built with enough stretch to keep you shaping boards and adjusting derailleurs with ease. ($128)

Lightweight and adventure ready, the Wellen Windward Full Zip Jacket ($69) represents excellent value for money. The water-resistant fabric sheds light rain and splashes and it vents in the rear with mesh liner for breathability. The stowable hood adjusts with a drawcord and vegan leather cord stoppers and the cinchable bottom hem for extra protection against the wind. ($69)

A great looking limited-edition down jacket from Eddie Bauer’s Centennial Collection, this is a fantastic choice for a lightweight piece of outerwear for summer and autumn.
