Hi there,

just wondering , does anyone know what temperature the Rab Summit jacket will go down to?

Thanks

Conrad

-273.15 deg. C.















if you don't mind not being in it!


Soz, feeling a bit silly tonight. Might even get some sleep tonight (teething baby etc.)
:P

Seriously tho' does the RAB site not have this info?

no it doesnt unfortunatly, and i just want to find out........... its in the extreme range, but im going to Bhutan this christmas and then climbing Mera & Island Peak next year, do you think this jacket will be ok for that? or should i spend that extra bit more on a Andes Jacket by rab?

That last "nope!" was in answer to my own question, not about the andes jacket by the way...., i've no idea about that.

ok.......anyone else???

don't know how helpful this contribution is - but i have never found my Rab Summit jacket to be that warm - not the warm jacket that i expected. even considered sending it back to Rab for testing.
I used it in EBC in September, and suffered a bit.
maybe i expected too much ?.
there are warmer jacket.

Rab Neutrino Endurance at 650grammes is warmer than the Summit at 1050grammes, according to Rab (spoke to them last week) the down in the Neutrino is better quality.

so maybe it should be a toss up between the Neutrino and the Andes?.
what is it you like about the Summit?. the more useful technical cut, or is warmth the main consideration ?.

The Netrino Endurance has always kept me warm. Ithink it's the extra Fill Power that makes the difference. I couldn't decide between the Summit, Andes and Neutrino Endurance at the time, but once I'd tried them all on the Neutrino won.

Batman an odd question but why the hell take a jacket down to 0 K?

lol, thats pretty cold, any jacket that could do that would be the bees knees as it were,

anyway i decided to go for the andes jacket, thanks for you advice guys!

Dave - no reason...


why do anything?

Fair enuf j


just idle curiosity really
