Sorry, this is not the best photo showing the jacket. If you are looking for a cold weather jacket, I recommend the Rab Neutrino Plus. Just undo the velcro, compress hood, and slide the flap through the hanging look and hook the velcro to the normal spot on back of hood. And you can actually use the flap that is meant to reduce hood volume to stow the hood instead. However, since it is so large and has velcro, it tends to get in the way when not in use. I assume it is to "stow" the hood, or at least keep in tucked down. I am baffled on one thing, and that is a flap of fabric on the inside of the neck. Included stuff sack is on the heavy side though, considering this is a lightweight piece.īeautiful jacket, I have the black with green inside and it looks very sharp, nice construction. Built for tackling 4000m peaks and alpine summits, the Neutrino Pro is filled with 800FP down and has been updated with a 100 recycled Pertex® Quantum Pro outer. Good compressibility, even with the wire in the hood. It seems to breath well, though I have only walked in it. Warmth-to-weight ratio The Endurance compresses to the size of a football, but has enough 800-fill goose down to keep testers warm in sub-freezing. Our Pacific Northwest testers were crazy about it. You can cinch the wrists closes too if need be.Įven though this is a real cold weather jacket, it is really comfy to wear in the 20's and 30's (Fahrenheit) as well. Why we like it It’s light, compressible, warm, and water-resistant (both the shell and the treated down). It has an overall slim appearance, but I am able to layer well underneath. Big enough hood to fit a thick hat underneath no problem. The hood fits well and is very adjustable. It is long in the arms, and long enough in the torso to be covered even when bending over. The small Rab Neutrino Plus fits me quite well. I am 6'2" and 170lbs and surprisingly I wear a small in many companies. I own one other Rab product, a Cirrus wind jacket. For a cool night in the mountains, I was impressed to see a temperature rating at a low level for a lightweight bag.
