In their words
“Best quality in the outdoors with 100%authenticity, excited to use it in the upcoming expeditions thanks trek kit for supporting us”

“I've worn this Rab down jacket for half a month, and its 800FPS hydrophobic down is of excellent quality, with a high fill weight that provides exceptional warmth. It's a highly performant and reasonably priced down jacket, and I really want to keep it. However, it has a fatal flaw that forces me to request a return: it is very fragile and has severe down leakage issues. Firstly, down often leaks ”
