Description

The Rab Men's Valiance Jacket is a high-performance insulated jacket that is equipped for challenging alpine conditions. It is insulated with treated down insulation that ensures warmth even in wet conditions and further protected by a tape-sealed waterproof shell.

The jacket is insulated with ultra-lightweight water-resistant 800-fill Nikwax Hydrophobic Down insulation. Renowned for their efficiency in retaining heat and compressible properties the feathers and fibers of down have an incredibly soft comfortable feel and despite advances in synthetic materials continue to provide the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any insulation available. The one inherent weakness of down insulation is that it loses much of its ability to maintain warmth when it gets wet but Nikwax Hydrophobic Down performs differently. A water-repellent treatment is applied to each individual down filament allowing it stay dry longer dry faster if it should become wet and most importantly deliver insulating warmth even while it is wet. Those are performance claims that traditional down simply cannot make. To further ensure weather protection the waterproof/breathable Pertex Shield exterior nylon fabric is completely tape-sealed. An insulated helmet-compatible hood extends protection and increases warmth. Adjustability in the hem and hood allow you to dial in fit.

Other features include bonded narrow box-wall construction a full-length front waterproof zipper zippered hand warmer pockets and a zippered interior pocket. A stuff sack is also included.

Available in your choice of size and color options the Rab Men's Valiance Jacket has a regular fit that allows you to comfortably wear midlayers and baselayers beneath it.

Very warm and well made jacket

Likes

Jacket is substantial with out being heavy. Love that the down is hydrophobic. 800 fill does a great job keeping me warm. Sheds water well in light rain. Fit is "normal". I'm 6'1" and 186lbs and the large fits nicely with room to wear a mid layer. Fits well under my Goretex shell for some extra rain protection. Able to throw it on over a tee shirt and stay warm on a cold day. It's a keeper.

Dislikes

Zipper is on the left side which is odd but not a deal breaker. It could really use an inner stash pocket for gloves and mitts and then this jacket would be close to perfect. Again not a deal breaker for me.

Rab and Sizing Info

Likes

Love the specs on the jacket. I like Patagonia, but a similarly spec'd jacket would cost close to $600! Also, I wanted to help some folks with sizing. I am 6ft tall, weight about 175, and wear a 32" waist pant... And the large was huge on me so I am exchanging for a medium. I'm new to Rab, but I like the fact that they use a water resistant down and they typically use an up spec'd Pertex shell. I hope this helps a bit.

The perfect waterproof warm down jacket

Likes

Living in the Vail Valley I have long searched for a down jacket that can keep me comfortable in the cold mornings while being waterproof to repel the snow. Tried many different brands, and haven't found any better. Great for backpacking as it includes a stuff sack to save space when not in use.

Dislikes

None yet, but that was what I was expecting as this purchase was 4 months in the making and trying different brands.
