Product Information

Full details

The Rab Women's Electron Pro Down Jacket is designed for female hikers and mountaineers seeking lightweight warmth and weather protection in demanding environments. Its key benefit is providing exceptional insulation thanks to its 800FP down fill with a hydrophobic treatment and wind-resistant outer shell, ensuring warmth even in damp conditions. However, it's worth noting that while durable, the jacket is designed for active use and may not be ideal for prolonged exposure to abrasive surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Down appears to be clumping or losing loft.

Wash and tumble dry the jacket following care instructions. Ensure the use of clean tennis balls to help restore the loft.

The jacket is not as warm as expected.

Ensure the jacket fits properly and is not too tight, as this can compress the down. Consider wearing appropriate layering underneath.

The outer fabric is wet and not repelling water.

Re-apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment. Clean the jacket first following care instructions, then apply the DWR according to the product instructions.
