g: macpac Ascend Hooded Down Jacket<br />
Made from a stretchy nylon/elastane fabric and filled with 650 loft RDS duck down — ‘RDS’ being the Responsible<br />
Down Standard for the ethical sourcing of down — the Ascend Jacket is warm and flexible. In addition to the<br />
elastane content, the unique fabric weave is designed to create ‘stepped’ baffles, which binds the fabric in a way<br />
that still allows it to stretch with you. To maximise warmth, the elastic bound hood, hem and cuffs help to trap warm<br />
air against your body, while discreet zipped pockets keep hands cosy when the temperature drops.<br />
RRP $379.99<br />
