Rab Positron Pro Hoody – Down jacket for mountaineering

Description

The Rab Positron Pro Hoody is a down jacket designed to offer maximum thermal protection in extreme cold and high-altitude mountain conditions. Built with 800-fill-power European goose down and an advanced box-wall construction, it is intended for expeditions, winter mountaineering, and environments where cold is a critical factor.

It is a highly logical garment for those who need absolute warmth and reliability in severe conditions, where thermal performance is prioritized over weight or compressibility.

Real technical performance

The box-wall construction eliminates cold spots and allows the down to reach its maximum loft, significantly improving thermal efficiency compared to lighter constructions. Additional baffles in key areas improve mobility without compromising insulation.

The Pertex® Quantum Pro 30D fabric provides increased resistance to snow, wind, and abrasion, making the jacket a reliable outer layer in extreme conditions.

Compared to the Neutrino, it offers greater warmth and protection. Compared to the Mythic, it sacrifices lightness in exchange for superior thermal performance that is more stable during prolonged use.
