Features
Hydrophobic Down
Hydrophobic down is down which has been coated with any kind of DWR (water repellent substance). This means it doesn’t get as wet and will dry faster, which helps to preserve the loft, as well as your body temperature!
Pertex® Microlight
Pertex Microlight is a super lightweight nylon fabric that is downproof, windproof and abrasion resistant. It also provides some water resistance and breathability, although its main function is to be lightweight and packable, which is why it is often used to make light, insulating jackets.
Ripstop
Ripstop is a fabric weaving technique often used in the shells and linings of technical clothing. The fabric (most commonly Nylon or polyester) is woven in a crosshatch pattern of stronger fibres at intervals to stop the fabric from tearing, and stop further tearing if it does. Ripstop makes fabric is really strong and was first used to make military equipment such as parachutes, but is now commonly used in lightweight shell jackets and made from finer fibres in order to make garments soft and light while remaining super-tough.
Flurocarbon-Free DWR
Flurocarbon-free DWR is Rab’s exclusive water repellent coating. It works in the same way, and just as effectively as other DWRs, except it doesn’t contain harmful flurocarbons. Instead it is made with a more neutral carbon strain, which won’t harm the surrounding environment during or after production.
