Ski gear can be prohibitively expensive. But staying warm and dry on the slopes often means it’s worth investing in the right technology like Gore-Tex waterproofing and high-tech insulation. Thankfully, a large selection of winter gear by Aether (pronounced “ē-ther”)—including snow pants, jackets, and midlayers—is marked down up to 60 percent. The Aether End-of-Season Sale runs through March 28, but select colors and sizes are going quickly so it’s best to nab these deals while you can.
To save you time, we hunted down the best discounts. That means Aether snow pants for less than $250 and Gore-Tex shell jackets under $300, for starters. Here, see our picks for snow-seeking travelers.

It’s on sale in bright monochrome blues and yellows, as well as a muted green/black combo. Available in men’s sizes XS–XXL. You can complete the look with the matching men’s snow bibs (which are unfortunately not on sale).

Women’s Merino Half-Zip Sweater
Buy Now: $171 (was $285), aetherapparel.com
Inspired by vintage ski sweaters, this 100 percent Italian merino wool sweater has ribbing detail around the shoulders and a half-zip turtleneck. It looks great with a pair of jeans but is functional enough to use as a midlayer on the slopes. On sale in black, blue, and charcoal gray, it is available in women’s sizes XXS–L.

Men’s Japanese Merino Henley
Buy Now: $180 (was $225), aetherapparel.com
Even at 20 percent off, this henley is still pricey. Made with premium Japanese merino wool, this cozy layer is an investment piece that will last. With moisture-wicking properties, it’s great to travel with because it will keep you warm in the cold and your temperature regulated indoors. Available in men’s sizes S–XXL, it’s currently only on sale in red, but we think that’s the best color anyway.
