The Pertex® Endurance outer provides durable protection against storm and spindrift while retaining minimal weight and packsize. The Neutrino Endurance has become the benchmark down jacket for modern mountaineering and lightweight ascents. The Neutrino Endurance is a lightweight, fully featured and very warm down jacket designed primarily for climbing and mountain use. Website | Facebook | Twitter Rab's Blurb: SummaryĪll in all a solid, well designed and light weight piece of kit that works as well on a winter route in Scotland, as it does sitting around a camp fire in the Verdon. A draw cord waist means no unpleasant cold air coming in that way. There's also a zipepd inner pocket for a phone or keys. There are two zipped outer pockets, thankfully low enough to be practical for sitting around (and not up above harness level and therefore useless for the majority of the time). The zips work nicely wthout forever getting caught on the internal baffles. The outer shell is water resistant meaning light showers are not a disaster, spindrift bounces off harmlessly, and wind doesn't get a look-in. It has Velcr cuffs, and the sleeves are long enough to pull my hands all the way inside to keep them extra warm. It goes without saying that sitting around at night as the dew settles and the stars come out has become a much more pleasant experience with this jacket. Despite the seemingly small amount of down it feels plump and 'heavy'. Just goes to show how light the feathrs are to coin a phrase.

Interestingly the jacket weighs 640g and is very warm, but it only contains 225g of down (800 fill power Hydrophobic European Goose Down to be specific).

Guess what? I've now got myself a Rab Neutrino Endrance jacket which is bothwarm and light! Weight I managed for a few years with a light weight version, convincing myself that it was worth the sacrifice in comfort for the practivcality of not having to lug a bg heavy jacket around. For years I've sat around camp fires wearing various thermals, fleeces and jackets, but I've never had a properly warm down jacket.
