The active fit and high collar seal in warmth without restricting movement, and the RDS certification ensures ethical sourcing.

Good to know

The black colourway is versatile and hides dirt, while the size L offers a comfortable fit for a range of body types. Care instructions: machine wash cold with down-specific detergent, tumble dry low with tennis balls to restore loft.
