The Explore Down Jacket benefits from a down-fill power of 850, making it an excellent cold-weather adventure jacket whether on or off the bike. You would get fantastic use from this jacket when off-road riding or touring where every gram of weight matters. This jacket will be able to pack nice and compact into any saddlebag, as it includes a matching stuff sack and the hood is fully removable for those wanting to reduce weight even further. The down-fill has been treated with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating so that the down feather will still be able to function within wet and damp conditions. With added safety in mind, this jacket includes reflective elements in the logo, to aid visibility when riding late at night.

The Rapha Women's Explore Down Jacket - Navy has the following sustainability attributes...
Sometimes using animal products can be a more sustainable alternative than using non-biodegradable plastic, but it is imperative that an animal’s welfare is respected. The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) was started by The North Face, Textile Exchange, Allied Feather Down and Control Union. RDS down cannot come from farms that engage in force feeding or live plucking and they must respect the Five Freedoms of animal welfare: freedom from hunger and thirst; from discomfort; from pain, injury or disease; to express normal behaviour; and from fear and distress. Parent farm (the farm where the birds are kept for producing eggs) certification is optional unless the down is harvested there. RDS down is traceable back to source via Track My Down.

With the jacket being so light weight how warm is it? Would it also suit hillwalking?
