Rab Neutrino Plus Jacket
ALTITUDE, POLAR, WINTER ALPINE JACKET
The Neutrino Plus is a box-wall design down jacket for extreme cold temperature. The Neutrino Plus was designed to fill the gap between the ever popular Neutrino Endurance jacket and the Summit Batura Jacket. This jacket is box wall construction with 275g/10oz of 800 fill European Goose down. The Neutrino Plus has a long torso for better core-body insulation, a helmet compatible hood, and the rip-stop Pertex® Endurance outer is highly weather resistant.
This jacket has a new lining colour for the Marin and Black colour versions for Winter 2011.
This jacket is designed for use in polar conditions, at altitude and for extreme Alpine style conditions. This jacket is currently being tested thoroughly by our Sponsored Athlete Gary Rolfe and his dog team in North Greenland.
Our Verdict
Like the Neutrino Endurance the Neutrino Plus has a Pertex Endurance outer shell which will provide a degree of protection from light rain and spindrift. The hood has a rear velcro volume adjuster, shockcorded round the face and a wired peak so its an attempt to get some functionality into a down hooded garment.
Unlike the Neutrino Endurance the Plus jacket has a boxwall construction which enables down to loft more effectively and is therefore warmer for a given weight and does not have potential coldspots.
The wrists are lightly elasticated with velcro closures ans all the external zips are water resistant. Two handwarmer pockets and an internal chest pocket keep the garment functional.
Buy this if you want the additional length compared with many current designs.
