"I love the X it always keeps me dry when exploring the amazon, it packs down to a 10th of its size and is just phenomenal."

DESCRIPTION

The Hercules Ultralight Hooded Down Jacket is Shackleton’s year-round go-to.

The lightweight insulation is provided by its 800-fill power RDS-certified insulation and warmth is further retained by the base drawcord and high neck baffle design. The highly durable outer shell is engineered from 100% recycled soft-touch micro-ripstop. The use of Pertex® Quantum offers lightweight performance and breathability, with incredible sustainability credentials. The baffle construction has been carefully optimised to ensure maximum warmth to weight ratio, reducing cold spots and delivering insulation where it is most required.

As a result, the Hercules has a distinctive design with a performance fit to enable efficient layering. The fully adjustable hood with reinforced peak and microfleece chin guard delivers highly effective comfort and protection from the weather. Two large microfleece-lined external pockets and an internal security pocket makes this a highly practical lightweight essential for all seasons.

DOWN FILL: 800 fill power. Down is the most effective natural insulator in the textile industry.

RDS CERTIFIED DOWN: All down is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified. You can access a Down Tracking System via the swing tag in each jacket.

DOWN: Down fill is made up of 90% down, 10% feather.

RECYCLED: The shell and lining are constructed of a 100% recycled polyamide fabric.

PERTEX: Pertex Quantum® - Soft and superlight, Pertex Quantum's tightly woven fabric uses fine yarns to trap still air, allowing the insulation to fully loft and keep you warmer. A durable water repellent finish repels light rain and snow.

A garment’s warmth depends on individual tolerance, layering, and conditions like wind or humidity, allowing flexibility beyond its listed temperature range.

Breathability measurement refers to a fabric's ability to allow moisture vapor to pass through, indicating how comfortable it will be during wear. The RET (Resistance to Evaporative Heat Transfer) value is commonly used; lower RET values (0-6) indicate very high breathability, while higher values (above 20) mean poor breathability.

The second way that breathability can be measured is moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR), given in milligrams per hour (mg/h), showing how much moisture can pass through in a set time frame. Higher MVTR values indicate better breathability, ensuring comfort by reducing moisture buildup.
