Rapha Explore Down Jacket

Something new from Rapha today, as part of their push on the Adventure trail. Sounds like it will be part of some bigger sleeping system.

It's a straight forward small Puffa style jacket, with some nice features to it. The internal thermal down has been given a water repellent treatment to keep the cold at bay, even when wet.

They've kept the jacket very lightweight, coming in at a mere 240g for the size Medium, pretty impressive stuff.

Yeah, you've seen this jacket from 101 brands, sometimes it comes down to nothing more than a fondness for a particular brand.

There are front pockets, internal adjusters for the waist, reflective logos and a removable hood (or could be packable into the collar, it's not very clear)

Out now at Rapha in navy, olive and black, £220
