Rab Neutrino Endurance Jacket Review





Rab Neutrino Endurance Jacket Review The award winning ultralight down Rab Neutrino Endurance jacket is dressed up with a highly water resistant shell. It can tackle the toughest winter conditions imaginable. An added benefit to the Endurance shell is durability - we have used this jacket as a belay parka while ice climbing with no ill effects.

I just got this jacket and I am very impressed! The quality is outstanding and the jacket is very light, mine weighs just 1 pound 4 oz - Mens Medium. I will be using this jacket for a winter ascent of granite peak, the highest peak in Montana. The materials are high quality - Pertex Endurance outer shell and Pertex Quantum lining. I have not seen a jacket for mountaineering at a better value than this one. I have previous experience with Rab products and everything has been outstanding. This is a company with a few decades of high altitude experience. The Neutrino Endurance stuffs small and lofts up quickly, the hood will also fit over my Grivel Salamander helmet.
