RAB NEUTRINO ENDURANCE PROFESSIONAL
The Neutrino Endurance is one of those jackets that just does everything you need it to, a firm favourite among professional mountain athletes and an ideal piece for UK and Alpine winter conditions. High lofting is provided by the 225g (size L) of 800 fill pure European goose down. The Pertex Endurance outer provides durable protection against storm and spindrift while retaining minimal weight and pack size. Big thanks to Adventure Peaks and Rab for your generosity.The Neutrino Endurance has become the benchmark down jacket for modern mountaineering and lightweight ascents. The Neutrino Endurance is perfect companion on any hiking, biking, or kayaking trip and a jacket I would thoroughly recommend having in your kit bag. With my Neutrino, right there by my side, I felt perfectly equipped for short snaps of cold weather, frosty mornings and staying up late in my camp chair shooting time lapse photography. We paddled over 200km of white water, hucked a 60 foot slide in Switzerland, filmed and shot over 70 hours of footage, drove 3000km and experience some of the most awesome rivers the Alps has to offer. And it was great around our various base camps in Capertogno, Landeck, Briancon and Ubaye. The cut and length are just perfect, not too short or long. It has water resistant zips, two hand warmer pockets and an inner pocket. Other features included a warm hood, wire rim peak, draw cords on the hem and Velcro wrists. It packs down small and comes with a stuff sack which allowed it to double up as my pillow in the tent every night! The Neutrino has a Pertex Endurance weatherproof outer layer which works brilliantly in wind and rain and the Quantum inner means its light weight and allows improved lofting. After one late night and a hard scary paddle on the Upper Venterache in Austria, I dove straight into my down jacket and hid there for about 20 minutes. I was dead chuffed as all those feathers kept me warm straight from a few of the colder rivers in the Tirol valley and on some of the colder nights in Valsesia. The Rab Neutrino Down Jacket has 225g of white goose down, packing a punchy fill power of 800. So having a light down jacket in my kit was essential. In Italy and Austria the nights got cold, in Austria the water was a mere 5 degrees and the higher we went in the mountains the more the temperature plummeted. Now you might think, was there any need for an item of clothing, of that nature, on your trip? The first bit of amour they gave me was a Rab Neutrino Endurance down Jacket. But other than a top team, your bro’s and a stout stomping kayak, you need the best kit to back you up.Īdventure Peaks and Rab teamed up and gave me some expedition gear to test out. All in a day’s work filming for my upcoming kayaking film. Dropping waterfalls, launching down slides and paddling through 400 foot gorges. I have recently returned from the gnarliest kayaking trip yet, travelling through the most beautiful regions of Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland.
But having said that I was relieved I had my down jacket packed in my bag. Rated down to 15-degrees Fahrenheit (European lower limit), this down-filled bag is a great choice for alpine. 30 degree weather and the need for goose feathers… I don’t think so. Ready for freezing nights on exposed bivi ledges and camping in the icy depths of winter, the Rab Neutrino Endurance 600 Sleeping Bag keeps you from shivering with its toasty 800-fill European goose down insulation. White water, sunny alpine valleys, red wine, saucisson, down jacket? Not really something that instantly comes to mind is it.
