Rab Positron Pro is a technical down jacket.
The Rab Positron Pro is a great choice if you’re looking for a down jacket that will keep you warm and dry. This jacket is filled with 800-fill goose down and is designed for versatility and warmth. The down is packed into the torso, upper arms, hood, and lower arms, but it doesn’t weigh you down. In addition to its warm and lightweight insulation, it has a stretchable construction that gives you plenty of flexibility and breathability.
Rab has designed this down jacket for alpine expeditions to altitudes of up to 6000 meters. It is made of a high-quality, water-resistant shell fabric, which prevents water from seeping through. Furthermore, the down is RDS-certified and ethically sourced. The jacket is also equipped with a hydrophobic fluorocarbon-free coating and a box-wall construction for heat-trapping insulation. In addition, it has a durable ripstop lining and a hood with a face baffle and polymer peak to keep out wind and rain.
It’s packable
The Rab Positron Pro Jacket is a technical down jacket built for use in the mountains. It features 800-fill goose down that’s R.D.S. certified and ethically sourced. It also has a waterproof Pertex Quantum Pro-face fabric. The jacket also features stitch-through construction, a ripstop lining, and a hood with a hood baffle and polymer peak. Whether hiking or climbing, you’ll be comfortable in this jacket.
It packs down into its packable stuff sack. Unlike synthetic down, the Rab Positron’s down retains its loft longer. This means it’ll stay warm for years to come. One minor complaint is that the zippers are a bit burly and tend to catch the thin shell fabric occasionally. Additionally, the velcro wrist straps will eventually wear out if you wear the jacket heavily. However, it’s worth noting that the Rab Positron Pro Jacket is still reasonably durable, especially when compared to other comparable down jackets.
It’s warm
Rab has created a down jacket that’s ultra-warm and packable. The Positron Pro has 800-fill goose down and a zoned construction that maximizes warmth and minimizes bulk. It’s ideal for expeditions up to 6000 meters. It also has a Pertex Quantum Pro shell and 800 Ethereal fibre fill. The boxed construction on the torso and side panels gives you the freedom to move around while remaining warm.
The Rab Positron Pro Jacket is warm and breathable, thanks to its 800-fill R.D.S-certified European goose down. However, down loses its insulating properties when wet. Rab worked with Nikwax to create a hydrophobic treatment that’s added to the down before it’s placed inside the jacket. This treatment ensures that down will retain its warmth and loft better than non-treated down. Moreover, Rab’s down is responsibly sourced.
It’s comfortable
The Rab Positron Pro Jacket is an excellent option for people who want a comfortable and warm outer layer. The down inside is insulated with 800FP R.D.S. certified European Goose down. Unfortunately, down can lose its insulating properties when wet. Still, Rab worked with Nikwax to create a hydrophobic treatment that prevents water from penetrating the down and causing it to lose its loft. This treatment helps maintain the down’s loft, providing warmth and comfort even in the rainiest conditions.
Designed for use in the high mountains, the Positron Pro Jacket has a lightweight, down-filled construction for optimal warmth and minimal bulk. It’s made from a Pertex Quantum Pro shell for protection from the wind, while 800 fill-power, ethically-sourced down is stuffed inside to keep you warm. The jacket also features a stitch-through lining and a box-wall construction on the torso. This makes for a lightweight jacket that also offers excellent mobility.
It’s water-resistant
Rab Positron Pro Jacket is a water-resistant jacket that combines breathable fabric and a down-filled inner lining. The down in this jacket is an 800-fill-power European goose down. The hood is adjustable, as is the cuff length. It also features two hand pockets and a zippered chest pocket. It is heavier than most other jackets, but it has the features you’d expect in a down-filled jacket.
The Positron Pro Jacket also has a two-way front zip and a synthetic insulated baffle behind it. It also has a down-filled hood with a wired peak and a face baffle, which is helmet compatible. The hood is adjustable and easy to pull, even with gloved hands. It is designed for maximum mobility and protection in icy conditions.
