Rab Neutrino Endurance Down Jacket - Men's

Item #RAB0040 | 38 in Stock
5 Star Rating

No disappointment

By Ranked #409 - Men's Down Jackets December 21, 2010

My jacket has followed me to peaks in Nepal, to the arctic tundra and majestic mountains in Norway and never disappointed me. Superb down quality and a down/feather ratio 96/4 which is matched by few others. The Montane North star was mentioned in another review and the ratio on that one is 94/6. The difference is noticeable and one should not only look at the filpower but also the above mentioned ratio. Enough said, the jacket is lightweighted, very compressible and is a display of great craftmanship. It's very comfy and has just the right length if you are in the market for a jacket that fits with a harness or just don't need to cover your rear. When I am not wearing the hood it works as a collar to block out wind and cold. I have had other jackets that are open in the neck area when the hood is hanging down - this is not the case with this jacket. The pockets are located underneath the down filling therefore being good handwarmers
A great buy

And there the quality of the down filling on the montane jacket dropped even further.

The Montane North Star is actually a 93/7 Ukranian 800 fill goose down for what it's worth
