RabMen's Valiance Down Jacket for Climbing and Mountaineering

I really like this jacket for everything that it is. Warm! Waterproof! And not too puffy! Fit was just right, and I don’t think you’d need many if any layers underneath beyond a T shirt and be comfortable 0 and above. Waterproof fabric is great in such a warm jacket so you don’t need a layering system which is what I wanted. My only issue with the jacket was the hood, some of the other RAB jackets had a hood role for when not in use, this jacket does not. Also the material inside the hood was very noisy against my ears, making it very hard to hear when walking. I know it’s a hood and will block some sound but it was just noticeably louder than other jackets I tried with hoods. But it is waterproof so it will save you in the wet, and you don’t need an outer shell. It’s a really great jacket and solves all layering issues in one well designed and well fitting jacket. My only design change would be removable hood or rollable hood storage of some sort, I think that would add to the versatility of the coat to be worn for more general uses other than extremes which this jacket can obviously handle.

I wasn't all that familiar with Rab products but after doing a little research i decide to buy this one. It is down filled, waerproof and windproof, all of which I've tested outside. I live in Wisconsin so it's a great place to test warmth in the winter. I've worn it at 0 degrees with just a light shirt on under it and was still very comfortable. I'm sure it will keep me warm well below zero with a bit of layering under it. All I can really say is that I'd buy it again and am now looking at other Rab products to purchase. You'll love it. Runs true to size.

i like itall the cold days i have it makes me so warm.waiting next salr days

The jacket is very comfortable, I recommend it

Completely waterproof, not water resistant. Really lightweight and unbelievably warm.I’ve had the Northface tri-way twice and a £600 Boss ski coat in the past.This Rab beats them both hands down.Can’t recommend them enough. I live in Scotland and think anyone visiting our country should be issued one of these coats at the border. Ya going to need it during Scottish winter.Phenomenal 👍👍👍👍❤️

The jacket arrived a lot sooner than the expected date and fits perfectly. Seems to be the perfect jacket for an English winter.

Brilliant jacket it met all my expectations. It’s very warm and copes with all weather with effortless style.
