Rab Down Jacket Review

It is supremely comfortable lightweight and packable.

Rab down jacket review.

On top of hydrophobic down developed by nikwax the rab microlight alpine down jacket also uses super tightly woven pertex microlight nylon fabric that is naturally water resistant and a superior external dwr coating keeps water from soaking in from the outside providing the best overall defense against water available in a down jacket today. The rab electron men s and women s is perfect for those situations in which a lightweight down jacket isn t going to cut it but something like the rab neutrino endurance would be overkill. The rab microlight alpine is one of the very best down hoodies in our review combining superior water resistance features with notable warmth in a relatively light package. It fit better than most jackets we tried offering fantastic freedom of movement combined with the ability to layer over or underneath it.

With supreme water resistance impressive warmth and a rugged exterior you can take this jacket anywhere and stay warm. For you americans unfamiliar with rab they are a uk based company well known for producing high quality down products. They started in 1981 in sheffield and have been one of the top english brands ever since but i really got into their gear recently specially with the awesome neoshell jacket. A benefit of the electron is that you can still squeeze it under a rain shell when the weather turns bad whereas the neutrino pro would be too.
