This jacket from AI is something to behold - think advanced technology meets modern fashion. 

I have a feeling it might invoke a marmite reaction in many people; with built in goggles, a mesh mouth piece and ear patches, the aesthetic is not for the traditionalist. 

Available in eight colours and seven sizes, the AI Men’s Down Jacket has an outer shell made from 100% nylon waterproof and windproof materials, and is packed full of real down padding with a 700-fill power that provides a lightweight but super-warm insulation. 

The built-in goggles have lenses with a polarising filter suitable for medium illumination and cloudy days. To ‘wear’ the goggles, you need to zip the entire hood closed over your head and pull the draw string at the back for a closer fit. What’s more, the lenses are interchangeable, so you can find something more appropriate for your lighting conditions or switch them out entirely for patches that match the material of the hood. In addition, you can put your headphones in the hood with the mesh ear patches and hear people and other noises clearly.

While the hooded / goggle system can get a bit hot when done up, the jacket is still has great style credentials; with two large pockets on the outside and inside, a water-resistant goggle pocket on the inside and a smart device pocket in the chest, this number ticks a lot of boxes. 

I think this jacket wins at style and function; warm, unique and made to last, it is a worthwhile investment for the winter. RRP £329
