⚙️ Actual technical performance
Today's synthetic jackets have evolved far beyond being a simple alternative to down. Technologies such as PrimaLoft® Gold Active+ or PrimaLoft® Silver RISE allow for active thermal regulation, adapting to exertion and preventing overheating during movement.
Combined with fabrics like Pertex® Quantum Air or Pertex® Quantum Pro, these garments offer:
- High breathability during intense activity
- Wind protection
- Quick drying in wet conditions
- Excellent weight-to-insulation ratio
This makes them a key piece for layering systems in the mountains.
🔍 Comparison within the range
Within the collection, you will find different approaches depending on the use:
-
Rab Xenair → maximum breathability for intense activity (fast & light, dynamic alpinism)
-

-

Choosing correctly depends on the activity level and the conditions you will encounter.
