How to Wash a Rab Down Jacket

To safely wash your down jacket, first clear your machine of old detergent and wash the zipped-up, inside-out jacket alone on a long, cool, gentle cycle using a down-specific or non-biological soap. Afterwards, carefully support the heavy, wet jacket as you move it to the dryer, and tumble dry on low heat for 3 to 5 hours, making sure to take it out every 20-30 minutes to shake and distribute the down until it is fully puffed and dry.

Are Rab Jackets Waterproof?

Rab offers a selection of fully waterproof jackets for men and women engineered specifically to handle relentless rain and unpredictable British weather. Look for garments featuring advanced membranes like Gore-Tex or Pertex Shield; these deliver outstanding hydrostatic head ratings alongside exceptional breathability to keep you completely dry on the trail.

Are Rab Jackets True to Size?

Rab jackets are precision-engineered for their specific end use across four distinct fits: Slim, Regular, Relaxed, and Expedition. Keep in mind that jackets designed for extreme environments are cut more generously to accommodate heavy, technical layering. If you plan to wear fewer layers underneath, you may want to size down.

Are Rab Jackets Warm?

Absolutely. Rab originally built its reputation on creating deep-cold sleeping bags and high-altitude expedition gear. By using ethically sourced, hydrophobic down and cutting-edge synthetic insulation, Rab jackets deliver an industry-leading warmth-to-weight ratio, keeping you exceptionally warm in sub-zero conditions without feeling weighed down. Look at popular options like the Microlight Alpine (down) for lightweight warmth.

Can You Repair a Rab Jacket? 

Rab operates a dedicated Service Centre for washing and repairing its gear. Whether it's a torn baffle, a broken zipper, or a puncture in your down jacket, their expert team can fix it up, extend its lifespan, and get you back out on the mountain.
