15 Best Bomber Jackets for Men for 2025, According to Esquire Editors

Everlane is so confident in its Uniform collection that the retailer backs any product from the line with a 365-day guarantee. If your bomber suddenly goes kaput, the company will replace it with a new one. Plus, it's crafted from recycled, water-resistant polyester—better for the environment, better for your wardrobe. And with five color options, you can make this your outerwear uniform for the season.

One reviewer writes: "The fit is great, not too long in the sleeves and not too narrow in the shoulders, and it's right at the waistline. It goes with so many different arrangements and colors can easily be dressed up or dressed down depending on the event or occasion, or just hanging out. The magnetic pocket closures are great, they're discreet and effective. A really easy-wearing piece!"

The MA-1 is still setting the standard after all these years. This is one of the most iconic bomber jackets out there, and with good reason. It has a durable, reversible, water-resistant shell, a poly-fill for added warmth, plenty of pockets, and knit details, too. This one has a slimmer fit so don't plan to layer it over your bulkier sweaters.

One reviewer writes: "Fits like a glove and looks great. Well-made. Not bulky, but quite comfortable down to about 40 degrees. My favorite jacket. So glad I made this purchase."

Lightweight and water-resistant, consider your grab-and-go jacket for milder temps found with this classic option from Calvin Klein. It's simple enough to go with anything, whether you decide to dress it up or dress it down. Plus, the soft shell design isn't too bulky; you can easily pack it for travel. It zips to the chin too, for days when you need some extra protection from the cold.

One reviewer writes: "Exactly what I was looking for. Sharp and professional looking, great in wind or rain, and doesn’t wrinkle when stuffed into my travel backpack."

From Buck Mason comes a versatile, everyday bomber that's jam-packed with performance qualities. Whether you're dressing this up for the office or dressing it down for a chill weekend, you'll love the non-bulky, weather-resistant fabric, angled hip pockets, and ribbed trims.

Bonobos is always there to provide a classic bomber when you're in need of one. Feel free to wear it out in a little drizzle, since it's also water-repellent. Plus, the fully-lined interior and snap-button pockets are just right for your winter layering.

One reviewer writes: "I love this jacket. It fits perfectly and I'm already getting compliments on it."

PRL has a bomber jacket as classically stylish as the rest of their clothing. This one has plenty of pockets, a sleek silhouette, and, best of all, double-knit fabric for extra warmth. The fit is on the slimmer side so consider ordering a size up if you plan to layer pieces underneath.

One reviewer writes: "Beautiful and comfortable, You can wear it with any type of pants! A casual jacket, soft and high-quality fabric!"

Lululemon makes apparel that's technically for athletics, but this casual bomber is such a good lifestyle look, we won't tell them if you decide to wear it every day. The fabric is water-resistant and wind-resistant, plus it has PrimaLoft insulation that you won't even so much as shiver in, even if your jacket is wet. And because Lululemon thinks of everything, there's even a hidden phone sleeve in the front pockets.

One reviewer writes: "Stylish jacket that fits well. Easy to dress up for a casual dinner. Love how it feels and looks."

Here's a logo-laden bomber jacket with all the cachet that's well worth the coin. Inspired by bombers of the '70s, this monogrammed suede style is all about easy-going, laidback coolness.

A reversible jacket like this one is basically like having two separate pieces in one. Style the black side of the cotton and nylon bomber with khakis or go monochromatic with black pants. Reverse it to the Khaki Brown side to wear with jeans or corduroy pants.

One reviewer writes: "Great spring jacket, very nice color green with black and the material and workmanship is top notch. I am 6ft and 165lbs and the size large fits me nicely. The size does run a bit small. The material has a nice feel and the knit collar and cuffs are high quality and well done."

Gap's bomber is a steal price-wise, but there's nothing cheap looking or feeling about it. The full polyester jacket is cut to fit on the more relaxed, baggier side, but if you prefer a more classic fit, size down. There aren't a ton of pockets like some others on this list, but the button-flap front pockets are deep enough to hold your essentials.

One reviewer writes: "Great quality materials used to make this Jacket. Unlike other military flight jackets which are normally stiff due to low quality materials used. But this jacket is soft and it moods to your body and feels great, and the fact that it was on sale I had to buy it."

When the fit calls for a dressier jacket that will also keep you warm, go with this Mack Weldon version. The polyester shell is water- and wind-resistant, fleece-lined, and trimmed with ribbed cuffs, waistline, and collar. There's also a hidden chest pocket to keep the two slant side pockets clear for your hands.

One reviewer writes: "Attention to detail, materials, and style exceeded my expectations. Gave it a brutal test in the wind and rain and it did its job. Fit is true to my size large giving me room to layer."

We've honestly seen very few bombers classier than this cashmere version from Todd Snyder. With its soft, recycled cashmere, contrasting rib knit cuffs, hem, and collar, and not-too-baggy, not-too-fitted silhouette, this is one worthy investment in your wardrobe. It will just as easily work with your best jeans as it does a pair of dress pants.

A&F went for full-on cozy vibes with their quilted bomber. The rounded hem adds to its softness. The nylon shell is water and wind-resistant and inside is a recycled polyester filling that makes it puffy and warm. Compared to similar jackets, the ribbed knit collar on this one stands a bit taller in the back to keep breezes off your neck.

There's a lot of design crossover between a classic bomber and a varsity jacket. Here's the perfect hybrid. The silhouette and rib-knit trimmings say bomber while the two-toned colorway, striped accents, and snap closure add the letterman jacket touch. It's made with a wool blend shell and has a quilted lining, so you know it'll keep you nice and toasty.

In keeping with its functional workwear roots, Dickies tacked a hood on this bomber jacket. The brushed cotton duck material is durable but still super soft and easy to move in. There's also a fleece lining to keep you warm. The drawstring hood even has a jersey knit lining that'll keep your head and ears toasty when the chill creeps in. Tuck your essentials into one of two interior pockets and save the outside ones for your hands.
