Positron Pro Hoody

Description

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

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

Real Technical Performance

The box-wall construction eliminates cold spots and allows the down to achieve 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 greater resistance to snow, wind, and abrasion, making the jacket function as 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 much superior and more stable thermal performance during prolonged use.
