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.
Like all Shackleton outerwear, the Ross is built from 100% recycled fabrics, in this case a highly windproof Japanese mini ripstop. The Ross delivers serious warmth to the wearer via 850-fill 90/10 RDS-certified European goose down insulation.
Four external zipped pockets and two additional internal pockets carry a weighty payload when required whilst the Ross can be reverse-packed into one of the internal zipped pockets for space-saving purposes while in transit.
The Ross is also part of Shackleton's new Adaptive Layering System meaning it cleverly zips into the Haakon and the upcoming Vostok parkas to further boost their thermal performance when you need it.
