New Reviews - Lightweight Down Jackets

Latest tests of the Rab Infinity and TNF Diez - top spec down and fabrics for minimal insulation.

On paper the specs are similar, but which one worked best in the Atlas Mountains?
Comparable weight and pack size, but the Rab's stuff sac was easier to use. But also easier to lose.

Latest reviews on the site are a pair of lightweight down jackets which, on paper have very similar specs. Both use the latest, lightest, priciest 10D Pertex Quantum GL along with some of the finest down money can buy. We took the Rab Infinity and The North Face Diez to the Atlas Mountains to see which worked best on the ground.

What we can tell you is that both are surprisingly warm for the weight and bulk, that they pack down nice and small and that the shimmery Pertex Quantum GL's semi-translucent looks are amazing too - but which was warmest?
