"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 Bracken Gilet is lightweight, understated and supremely comfortable with 800 fill power, 90/10 RDS-certified goose down for maximum warmth with minimum weight. Built in partnership with the Financial Times, high-end materials have been selected including a windproof mini-ripstop, soft-touch and a 100% recycled face fabric that’s durable but incredibly light at 32gsm.

Filled with 800fp RDS-certified 90/10 down that has an unbeaten warmth-to-weight ratio, the Bracken has been engineered for versatility and is cut to be layered over a shirt or baselayer without being bulky so it can fit under a jacket or waterproof outer layer. The two-way front zip has a zip garage at the neck for guaranteed comfort when combined with the microfleece neck lining, and a placket behind it to block the wind.

Finishing touches elevate the Bracken Gilet, from the tone-on-tone FT and Shackleton logos to the leadership quotes from Sir Ernest Shackleton and the Financial Times. Whether you’re layering up for an Arctic adventure, or keeping warm in wintry cities, FT Gilet is ready to lead.

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.
