Shackleton Rothera Hooded Down Jacket: first imprssions
The Shackleton Rothera Hooded Down Jacket (available direct from Shackleton) is a technical piece of kit, but initial impressions count, and unavoidably, the first thing that crosses your mind when looking at this puffer jacket is how dashingly handsome it is. But, of course, that wouldn’t count for much if it didn’t perform in the field/hills. So that’s where we took it on test, to see whether it would earn a place in our roundup of the best down jackets available today.
