Rab Womens Electron Pro Down Insulated Jacket  £238.50

Rab Electron Pro Down Jacket - Women's

With lightweight fabrics, high-loft down and body-mapped baffles, the Women’s Electron Pro Jacket is one of the most efficient mid-weight technical down jackets the mountaineer can buy.

The Women’s Electron Pro Jacket is designed for fast, flexible mountain insulation. Built from 20D Pertex Quantum Pro with a DWR coating, it uses ethically-sourced 800FP RDS-certified European goose down with a hydrophobic Nikwax® treatment for improved weather resistance and faster drying. Zoned midi and micro baffle stitch-through construction helps minimise bulk, eradicate cold spots and control down migration for reliable warmth where it matters. The ascent-ready feature set includes elasticated cuffs with integrated stretch panels and a helmet-compatible hood with stiffened peak. It also features a pair of harness-compatible hand pockets, an internal security pocket, a double-ended YKK® zip and an adjustable hem.

Subtle updates to the style, fabrics and features make the latest version of our best-selling Women’s Electron Pro Jacket one of the world’s most advanced mountaineering down layers.

Review: True to size. Feels like a hug. This is the best jacket if you're looking for warmth and light weight packability. The stretch in the cuffs alone are an awesome feature. A very stylish fit. If you're looking for a snugger fit, you may be able to order your normal size. I ordered one size larger to fit a mid layer comfortabbly. Colour is beautiful. Favorite jacket to date!

Pertex® Quantum Pro Fabric - Pertex® Quantum Pro uses an ultra-thin water-resistant coating to provide increased protection in rough conditions. By combining a tightly woven face fabric with a microporous coating, Pertex® Quantum Pro delivers weather resistance whilst remaining lightweight, soft, and breathable. It’s ideal for use in cold or damp environments.

Nikwax® Hydrophobic Down Finish - Down is naturally breathable, which makes it very comfortable to wear, but this comes with a drawback – it can absorb moisture. This moisture can overload the fibres, or cause them to stick together, stripping the down of its insulative properties. To mitigate this effect, we apply a Nikwax water repellent “hydrophobic” treatment to the down. This treatment significantly improves the performance of the down by preventing the clusters from absorbing moisture and helping it to retain its loft. In the event that the down does become waterlogged, the treatment significantly decreases the time it takes the down to dry and its loft to recover.

Responsible Down Standard (RDS) Certified - The Responsible Down Standard (RDS) aims to ensure that down and feathers come from animals that have not been subjected to any unnecessary harm.
