Hi I'm pretty new to this posting stuff so be gentle with me! Was considering buying a Rab Infinity but have seen some mixed reviews on sizing/fit of the jacket, mostly from the mens version I think. Does anyone have any good/bad feedback on the jacket.
Thanks

I haven't got one but remember trying one on, I found it a snug fit and decided I'd need to go up a size to allow for layers.

Cotswolds shop in Betws had them in their sale at the weekend.  Sorry, can't remember the price but it was either £150 or less.  Cotswolds don't seem to have the infinity reduced on line, whereas neutrino plus is.

Given a choice of infinity, neutrino endurance and neutrino plus, I prefer the neutrinos with their longer length.  The outer fabric is more resistant if that's an issue. The neutrino plus is 'box wall' construction and should be really cosy - heavier though.

You probably know this, but if you can't get to a shop to try one on for size, remember Distance Selling Regs give you the right to full refund, including postage so all you usually end up paying is the cost to return something if it's not what you want.

Lots of snuggly down bargains to be had this year, good luck finding what you want.

I've got one which I've had since last winter.  Its incredibly lightweight but amazingly warm.  However, if you're more than about 5ft 6 it might feel a bit short in the body.  A friend tried mine on before deciding whether to buy one and shes nearer 6ft and she thought it was too short and like MoS says the Neutrino is longer, which is what she went for in the end.  The hood fit on the Neutrino is different to the Infinity too.  I noticed www.beoutdoors.co.uk had the Neutrino in their sale but theres loads of down bargains around at the moment.

Perfect for this weekends weather!!

I tried on a Neutrino and MoS was right, the length is much better. Thanks for the advice about Cotswold - great price!
