The Arrivals recently launched a new puffer outerwear design that has the potential to truly help people connect with their surroundings. The AER Puffer has an "Off the Grid" pocket that blocks all cellular, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, EMR, EMF and radiation signals, which can help the user to better immerse themselves in the elements.
The cozy, high-performance puffer jacket is made with a two-layer fabric, a breathable membrane and features that are resistant to wind and water. The design of the jacket also includes a powder skirt to block cold air, as well as an insulated and cinching hood. The stylish anti-tech jacket design is available in a range of core colors, as well as seasonal options like the bright Bolt Ripstop option.
