"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 Ross combines serious outdoor performance credentials with rugged good looks to make for a tough and versatile technical gilet that you’ll wear all year round.

The shell is built from 100% recycled Japanese mini ripstop fabric, which is highly windproof, whilst the 850-fill power 90/10 RDS-certified insulation delivers serious warmth retention. The sculpted silhouette is flattering to form, with ergonomic baffles and arm holes designed for easy range of movement. The baffle construction consists of a mixture of 6cm and 3cm baffle depths allowing for better movement.

Micro fleece collar improves comfort, and four external zipped pockets carry a weighty payload when required.

Performing as both a mid-weight piece of outerwear, the Ross Gilet is also a versatile mid-layer meaning it can be combined with heavy duty parkas and waterproofs to extend its expedition-grade protection.

FILL POWER: 850 fill power. Down is the most effective natural insulator in the textile industry.

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

RDS CERTIFIED DOWN: All down is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified. You can access a Down Tracking System via the swing ticket in each jacket which contains a code to be entered here.

RECYCLED: The shell, lining and pocket bags are constructed of 100% recycled materials, an ultra-lightweight 42g/m² fabric.

BLUESIGN: Fabric is bluesign® certified, the standard for environmentally friendly and sustainable materials.

SELECT SIZE

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.
