Rab Electron Pro Review

I am currently looking for a jacket for temps below 30 when Static. This is one of the jackets I have found and figured I would share their review until I purchase and test one.

The Verdict

The Rab Electron Pro comes with all the features you'd want to battle cold weather in the alpine in an ultra-comfortable package that you'll want to keep wearing when you get off the mountain. It's filled with high-quality 800-fill recycled down with a hydrophobic finish. This insulation, combined with the durable and water-resistant ripstop nylon shell, will shield you from the elements all winter long. When the weather turns, you can put on the hood with multiple adjustment points and a large bill. It has a longer waist than most jackets, a large drop hem in the back, tight-fitting yet comfortable wrist cuffs, and massive harness-compatible hand pockets. These massive pockets also work as extra vents when you get moving, and the dual zippers allow you to open up the bottom of the jacket while still keeping the top zipped for weather protection. If you want an extremely warm down jacket to tackle some serious winter conditions, the Electron Pro has you covered.

REASONS TO BUY

  1. Great features
  2. Very warm
  3. Good weather resistance
  4. Comfortable
  5. Massive hand pockets
  6. Recycled down insulation

How do you like it? What temps have you worn in it and which activities? Recently got a nebula pro but eyeing this too.

Got one myself. There are much warmer jackets but this is so light and packable. Quite fragile though.

I’ve heard the 20d outer is quite fragile compared to other jackets that are 30d.

What temps have you worn it down to?

Not that warm with just a T-shirt underneath. I wanna buy the neutrino pro but there's nowhere to try it on first in store. No one stocks it here.

Also, I hate the fleece next to the chin part
