![]() What I like about the Rab Neutrino Enduranceįit: I have rarely found a down jacket that fits so well. This jacket is great for all kinds of outings, from walking in the mountains to skiing in the Alps. Our Hydrophobic Down treatment is unique to Rab and fluorocarbon- free. With these only a small percentage of the proofer reaches the down as the outer and inner fabrics act as a barrier. Duck and goose produce down with different characteristics and each grade of down required a separate formula.īecause our Hydrophobic Down treatment is applied to the raw down at source it is far more effective and durable than DIY down-proofing products. It also speeds up drying times when damp and will withstand repeated washing.ĭeveloping our Hydrophobic Down was a complex process. Our Hydrophobic Down treatment now ensures that our down absorbs substantially less water, so retaining more loft and warmth. We worked closely with a company with decades of experience in proofing technologies to develop unique treatments that make our down fully water-resistant. Perhaps because we only use very high quality down, sourced, processed and accredited in Europe.īut we weren’t content to leave it there. When we started we found that our raw down was actually quite hard to wet. “We guard against this by protecting our down beneath very tight weave and coated fabrics treated with robust DWR finishes, but for a while now we’ve been working on protecting the down itself. Main: 100% recycled polyamide.Rab already offers a DWR finish to the outer fabric of the jacket to keep the wet out.Waterproof roll-top compression sack included.Zipped storage sack with water-resistant base for home storage.YKK Anti-snag zip insert and anti snag internal zip guard.Angled foot box for relaxed sleeping posture.YKK 3/4 length main zip with synthetic filled baffle to trap warmth.Close fitting adjustable neck baffle design for decreased heat loss.Trapezoidal boxwall construction with differential cut, to maximise loft and warmth.Weight saving chevron baffle design, reduces down migration and optimises core warmth.800FP European Goose Down with Nikwax Fluorocarbon-Free Hydrophobic Finish (400g / 14.1oz).20D Pertex® Quantum recycled nylon ripstop (38gsm) with fluorocarbon-free DWR.Insulation:800FP European Goose Down with Nikwax Fluorocarbon-Free Hydrophobic Finish (400g / 14.1oz).Hand-filled in the UK, all our down bags benefit from never having had their down compressed before use, maintaining the down’s loft and warmth. It has a ¾ length zip with anti-snag zip guards, a zipped internal stash pocket and comes with a waterproof roll-top compression sack for easy stashing. The down is also finished with a Nikwax, fluorocarbon-free hydrophobic treatment for coping with condensation. Now built with a recycled nylon lining and recycled Pertex® Quantum outer, it’s wind resistant and a little lighter on the planet too. Additional baffles along the length of the zip and around the neck decrease heat loss, and with an adjustable drawcord around the hood you can cinch the bag around your face. The trapezoid boxwall baffle construction allows the down to fully loft, eliminates cold spots, and maximises warmth. The Neutrino 400 is filled with 400g of 800FP, goose down, stabilised in chevron shaped baffles, cleverly designed to reduce the amount of fabric needed compared to traditional horizontal baffles. It’s perfect for three season mountain missions. Designed with a narrow mummy fit, for reduced bulk and pack size, and constructed with lightweight, high performance materials. For the alpinist looking for a lightweight, low bulk bag suitable for cold temperatures, the Neutrino 400 offers exceptional packability and warmth for its weight.
