What insulation and construction does the Rab Neutrino Pro use?
The QDB-85 Neutrino Pro uses 800FP down in stitch-through baffles. Rab describes it as highly insulated, light and packable, and lists the men's medium weight as 19.9 oz/563 g.
Is the Rab Neutrino Pro waterproof?
Rab describes the Pertex Quantum Pro ripstop outer as weather resistant and suited to deflecting snow and spindrift. The product page does not describe this jacket as waterproof, so do not treat its weather resistance as a waterproof specification.
Is the hood compatible with a climbing helmet?
Yes. Rab specifies a fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood with a stiffened peak. The product page positions the jacket for climbing and mountaineering and also describes the front zip as belay-ready.
What storage and adjustment features does it have?
The jacket has two hand pockets, an internal security pocket, and an inner stash pocket that also serves as an integrated storage solution. Rab also specifies glove-friendly cuff adjustment to help shut out cold.
How should I wash and dry the Neutrino Pro?
Rab recommends a cool, long gentle wash with a down-specific or non-biological detergent, thorough rinsing, and immediate tumble drying on mid-to-low heat. Shake and pat the baffles every 20–30 minutes; drying can take 3–5 hours.
How should I store the jacket between uses?
Store the Neutrino Pro uncompressed in a cool, dry place. Rab's down-care guidance also says to air the jacket for a couple of days after drying before use, helping ensure residual moisture has cleared.
Can Rab repair a damaged Neutrino Pro?
Rab offers a repair service intended to extend the life of its clothing and equipment. You choose a service, receive a care card and prepaid postage label, send the item in, and Rab repairs it before posting it back; standard repairs aim to match the original appearance where possible.
What support does Rab provide if the jacket has a manufacturing defect?
Under Rab Promise, if an item fails because of a manufacturing defect during its usable lifetime, Rab says it will provide a factory-approved repair. If repair is not possible, Rab says it will provide a replacement; this is separate from ordinary wear or accidental damage.
