RAB NEUTRINO ENDURANCE WOMEN PRO
In fact, the Neutrino Pro is so warm that it doesn’t wear well on mild winter days or during high-output activities.
This all adds up to serious warmth, and much more than you get from a lightweight piece. Finally, the helmet-compatible hood can be easily cinched down to keep gusting winds and blowing snow at bay.

First, it’s packed with a whopping 7.5 ounces of premium 800-fill power goose down (the past-generation model we tested had a little more at 8 oz.). Without a doubt, the Rab Neutrino Pro is one of the warmest technical down jackets on the market. We’ve noted these changes where applicable throughout the review. To see how it stacks up, see our articles on the best down jackets and best winter jackets.Įditor’s note: The Neutrino Pro has been lightly updated since our review, with key differences including the use of recycled materials, a new arm baffle design for added mobility, a slightly lower weight, and marginally less down (7.5 oz. Below we break down our experiences with the Neutrino Pro. This jacket is lofty, relatively tough, and well-suited for the depths of winter. This England-based company launched the Neutrino down jacket over a decade ago, and with a number of improvements along the way up to the latest Pro version, it’s one of the best on the market.
So if there’s any brand we can trust to make proper gear for the cold and wet, it’s Rab. Winters are harsh in the U.K., and British alpinists are known for getting out in all types of conditions.
