I live in Canada where it can get fairly cold and was looking for a warm comfortable, light down jacket. I had narrowed down my choice to the MH Nilas jacket since they were on sale, however the local store ran out of my size. I attended another local store Trailhead and noticed that they sold some Rab jacket which I didn't think were available in Canada. Apparently there are around 8 Retailers country wide who do sell there jackets. I tried on the jacket and was really impressed with how comfortable it was and that it had somewhat of a tailored fit for a jacket of this style. I also tried it on underneath my OR hard shell Gortex jacket just to see if it was possible and it fit nicely. I'm 5'10, athletic build, 185 pounds and the medium was a great fit. I was able to test the jacket out today as the conditions were -25 c, and -38 c with the windchill. I layered long underwear, Arteryx LT hoodie and another mid layer then the Rab Endurance jacket. I was out with my dog for approximately 45 minutes walking at a medium speed. I was very warm and probably could have done without one of the mid layers. The jacket did a great job blocking the wind and fit over top of a Yukon style fur hat. The hood also fits great around your head with no hat or helmet. Hopefully this helps answer a few questions about the jacket for anyone considering buying it. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like your wearing a down duvet cover around your upper body that's been tailor cut and weights almost nothing. So far I'm very happy with it and would feel safe taking it winter camping.
I've been looking for the perfect down jacket for a while. I live in the PNW and its usually wet around here so having the Pertex Endurance fabric is a nice bonus. Also, I'm very thin and tend to run cold and on top of that I continue to climb even in the winter months. This jacket has finally fit the bill. I first tried the Marmot Ama Dablam. It had a great fit, but there wasn't enough down to keep me warm. I then tried the Marmot Greenland. That jacket was too warm. I then tried the First Ascent downlight jacket which I tried to love, but it wasn't very weather resistant and and didn't fit right over my mountaineering layers. This jacket finally felt right. Perfect amount of insulation to keep me warm (more down in the body than in the arms) but not enough to make me start sweating like crazy. Additionally, the hood is great and the collar covers high to seal out the wind and cold. For reference, I am 6', 135 lbs. and bought a medium. This fits fits easily over my winter mountaineering layers (base layer, 100-200 weight fleece, light synthetic jacket [atom lt], and a hard/softshell). If you're looking for a warm, weather resistant down jacket, this a great buy!
Just an amazing amazing jacket for the price that will keep you warm. Fits true to size. I'm 5'8, 160 pounds with a 40 inch chest and medium fits just right without layers. Any layering and I would have to size up. The Pertex Endurance will shed light precipitation. It is not as breathable as high quality shells, but this is not a jacket designed for high aerobic activity. Rab's helmet-compatible hoods are right up there among the best.
I'd been onsidering the Rab Infinity Endurance, but I couldn't justify going for the less durable and less warm jacket for only 2 ounces.
My one complaint is that the down migrates on the volar surface of my forearms and biceps after repeatedly flexing my biceps leaving no insulation on my biceps. This is a problem on many down jackets, and it can only be fixed through creating more baffles at the mid-arm or by placing synthetic insulation at the mid-arm. I also have a HUGE head, so the down collar is really snug on my jaw/chin on a medium jacket.
I also own the Mountain Equipment Vega which is a very comparable jacket. I prefer the Vega because of the cool hood and easier zipper, but you can't go wrong with either.
I haven't had the jacket that long although I have used it in a variety of conditions so far. I live in WA pacific NW and have seen weather with this jacket ranging from the mid 40's and raining to around 10 degrees.
The jacket has worked as I would expect it to keeping me very warm even when the temps dipped to almost single digits. I bought this jacket after reading some fairly good reviews and am very happy with my purchase so far.
Sizing is consistant and fit is on the athletic side which works for me as I am 5'10" 195lbs Chest is 45" waist is 33" so I don't wear more than a base layer underneith and have to cynch the bottom quite a bit, might have been better off with an XL, but the waist ends up being wayyy to big...
All and all the jacket is light and very warm extremely nice jacket!!
I picked one of these up slightly used from a friend and I've almost replaced my Marmot Ama Dablam that I've had for three years with it. Feels nice, super insulated and warm. Packs down small into its stuff sack. I particularly like the longer torso cut for this one in comparison the the Ama Dablam. Also the Pertex feels a little more durable than the polyester shell on the Ama Dablam. However, I really appreciate the ability to stuff the Ama Dublam inside its own pocket which this one is not capable of.
super warm, light jacket good for anything anyone would want to do unsupported/ in a nice lower trace alpine style. Had it two seasons belaying, summiting lower 48 peaks, and taking rest breaks while skiing. A medium was too big for 5'10 140, so ended up selling and getting a slightly less warm sweater and an 8000m parka which work well for my work but the Neutrino is missed. Hood, water-resistant fabric and super light warmth make it a no brainer, just watch the fit.
I was looking for a good, lightweight, and VERY warm jacket for my daily commute. I wanted to stay away from heavy parkas and thought that this might do the job. While the jacket is certainly comfortable, it's not as warm as I'd like and the fit is tight.
If you have long arms this great jacket will not work. I'm 6'2" 185 and the cuffs were inches above the wrist with hands at sides on the xxl. The xl was too small all around with fleece layer underneath. Too bad.
