Step four: If using Nikwax Down Wash Direct, place 100ml in either the tray or directly into the washing machine inside a small pot/ball. If you choose to use another washing product, place the appropriate amount in the machine in the same way.Fully seam-sealed, durable (if slightly weighty), water-resistant (waterproof?) and windproof Pertex Shield rip-stop outer face fabric effectively means you won’t feel the cold, sleet or snow penetrate. As ever. Often more practical to make any essential larger adjustments(particularly to the hood) before one encounters the harshest conditions. Outer fabric: The main fabric is 40D Recycled Pertex® Shield. Pertex® Shield is durable, waterproof and highly breathable, creating a comfortable yet protective layer that doesn't feel too heavy or bulky. The material is coated with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, offering extra protection against wet weather, without using any chemicals that would cause damage to the environment. The down is treated with a Nikwax fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finish, which adds light water resistance to the down itself.

Hydrophobic Down - Rab finish all their down with a hydrophobic treatment that enables it to retain its loft in damp conditions, so that your gear dries fast and stays warm. The cuffs have a hook and loop adjustment, which are chunky enough to use with gloves, and really simple to use. They offer alternative fittings around the wrist, so you can adapt them to the conditions you're facing and to your layering system effectively. A two-way YKK® VISLON® front zip offers multiple solutions to dump heat or even fit around a climbing harness. The zip has a double storm flap and synthetic insulated baffle running down it, keeping the warmth in and the weather out.
