Rab Electron Pro Men's Down Jacket

Product detailed description

The Rab Electron Pro down jacket is the direct successor to the tried-and-true Electron model. It has found its niche mainly among those who aren’t overly concerned with minimal weight, but who want to stay warm above all else! The jacket is filled with 190 grams of premium goose down with a fill power of 800FP, treated with a water-repellent finish from Nikwax. Of course, Rab includes the R.D.S. certificate of origin for the down  Starting this year, Rab began using recycled materials in a number of products; the Electron Pro features a recycled 20D nylon lining with a weight of 38 g/m². The outer material is the proven 20D Pertex Quantum Pro, which, unlike Pertex Quantum, also has a polyurethane coating, making it more water-resistant (it is not waterproof!). Of course, it also features a high-quality water-repellent DWR finish. Compared to the previous model, it is clear that the jacket is now more geared toward the mountains.

The main YKK zipper is two-way, which will be especially appreciated by mountaineers. The hood has also undergone minor modifications; it is helmet-compatible and the drawcord is now integrated inside. Of course, it features a stiff brim. The sleeve cuffs have also been redesigned and now have two elastic gussets on the inside. A small detail you’ll really appreciate when slipping your hand through the sleeve or, say, while cooking... You can easily warm your hands in two large zippered pockets, which are positioned higher up so they’re easy to reach even while wearing a climbing harness. You’ll also love the smaller inner pocket for small items. The bottom hem of the jacket can, of course, be easily cinched.  Bottom line... The Electron Pro is an excellent multipurpose mountain jacket with an ideal balance between weight and warmth. A very detailed review of the previous Electron model was sent to us by our customer (Leona Vargovčíková); you can read it here.

Rab down jackets are currently shipped without the original compression bag—you can purchase one from our selection.
