Rab Valiance Jacket Women's - Steel - Size S

The Rab Valiance Jacket is a premium insulated jacket designed for women who demand exceptional warmth and weather protection in cold, wet conditions. Combining a waterproof Pertex® Shield outer with high-loft 800FP European Goose Down treated with a hydrophobic finish, this jacket delivers reliable performance in alpine environments.

Advantages

This jacket offers outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio thanks to 800FP down with a fill weight of approximately 170g (size M). The Nikwax hydrophobic treatment ensures the down stays dry and lofty even in damp conditions. The Pertex® Shield outer fabric provides 10,000mm hydrostatic head waterproofing and 10,000 MVTR breathability, keeping you dry from both rain and perspiration. Box-wall baffle construction minimizes heat loss, while the helmet-compatible hood with wired peak offers protection in storms.
