day in your garden or – more likely – you’re planning
some mountain treks in the not-too-distant future,
you’re in luck: Shackleton has 100 of these jackets
for sale to consumers. Their 3-ply fabric outer layer
has a waterproof rating of 20,000hh while their
sustainably sourced goosedown inner can keep you
warm at temperatures as low as -25°C. And for each
one sold, Shackleton will donate £100 to Blue
Marine Foundation. Seriously cool.

We all need to do our bit to protect the
world’s sea ice from climate change. But you
can chill: this is the first parka of its kind to

post-consumer plastic bottles used to create
its waterproof shell.
