Outdoorkit Expands Rab Down Range

Sept. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- The men's Summit Batura Jacket is fully waterproof, made with durable Pertex Shield and fully taped for extra protection. Weighing in at 1115g, the insulation with this jacket is incredible - weighing in at 325g, this superior quality European goose down uses 750+ EU fill-power to ensure maximum warmth in cold weather.  To keep the insulation efficient and evenly spread, a narrow box wall construction is used, eliminating cold spots - and even the two-way zip baffle is down-filled to keep the heat in. The grown-on hood is also down-filled and includes a peaked visor, ideal for snowy conditions.
Additional features include two chest, two Napoleon, and two internal mesh pockets, Velcro adjustable cuffs and a drawcord on the hem. The Summit Batura is supplied with it's own stuff sac, and is priced at £336.99.

For a lightweight down & waterproof jacket, the men's Microlight Alpine Event is only 600grams and with the same fill power as the Summit Batura, so feeling a chill even on the UK's coldest days is very unlikely. The eVent shell aims for maximum waterproofness and breathability, with the YKK zip featuring internal and external storm flaps with rain drain, and two a-line chest pockets featuring water resistant zips. The attached hood is helmet compatible, and includes a steadfast wired peak. The cuffs are elasticated with Velcro adjustments, and the hem has a drawcord fitted. Priced at £224.99, the Microlight Alpine Event combines the key essentials of warmth, dryness and low weight to become a perfect winter jacket.

The men's Neutrino Andes Jacket has a generous centre back length of approx. 84 centimetres, with 750+ goose down fill-power and a Pertex Endurance water-resistant coating.
