The Rab Women's Valiance Down Jacket is designed for women who need reliable warmth and waterproof protection in challenging weather conditions. Its key benefit is offering a fully waterproof down insulation, a rare combination, which ensures warmth even when wet. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it's a technical piece of outerwear and requires proper care to maintain its performance.

Yes, the combination of 700-fill hydrophobic down and a waterproof Pertex Shield 2L shell makes it suitable for cold and wet conditions. For extreme cold, layering is recommended.
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a specialized down wash. Do not use fabric softener or detergents, and ensure it is thoroughly dried.
After washing, reapply a DWR treatment like Nikwax TX.Direct to the outer fabric. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
The Valiance Down Jacket specifically integrates a waterproof membrane with down insulation, offering superior protection against wet weather compared to many traditional down jackets which are typically water-resistant but not fully waterproof.
To maintain the down's loft and warmth, always wash and dry the jacket according to the care instructions, using a technical wash and ensuring it is completely dry with the help of dryer balls.
Yes, the hood is 2-way adjustable and features a wired peak to help maintain its shape and keep rain away from your face.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and then reapply a DWR treatment, such as Nikwax TX.Direct, following the product instructions.
The down may not have been dried properly. Re-tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with dryer balls for an extended period until the down is fully fluffed and dry. Ensure no moisture remains.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) to help it glide smoothly.
This can sometimes happen with down insulation. Ensure the jacket is thoroughly washed with a specialized down wash and completely dried. If the odor persists, a second wash might be necessary.
Setup: The Rab Women's Valiance Down Jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before wearing for optimal weather protection.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer layer and is compatible with a wide range of base layers and mid-layers. For optimal performance, pair it with moisture-wicking base layers and insulating mid-layers suitable for the expected temperature.
