Product Information
Full details
For adult males facing frozen trails, wind-battered summits, and winter ascents, the Rab Glaceon Pro Down Jacket offers exceptional lightness and warmth for mountain objectives. Its key benefit is providing superior thermal comfort with minimal weight, though its specialized design means it's best suited for high-exertion winter activities rather than casual everyday wear. Constructed from lightweight Pertex® Quantum Pro fabric and 700 fill power down, it balances thermal performance, lightness, and compressibility, making it ideal for battling cold during hikes and climbs on exposed slopes and walls.

FAQs
What type of activities is the Glaceon Pro best suited for?
The Glaceon Pro is ideal for high-exertion activities in cold, harsh winter conditions, such as mountaineering, ice climbing, winter ascents, and challenging hikes on exposed terrain.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is fully adjustable and designed to be helmet-compatible, featuring a stiff peak for added protection.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent in a front-loading machine. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls until fully dry and all down clumps are dispersed.
What does '700 fill power down' mean?
Fill power is a measure of the loft or 'fluffiness' of down. 700 fill power indicates high-quality down that provides excellent warmth for its weight and is highly compressible.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The Pertex® Quantum Pro fabric offers good water resistance, but for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell might be more appropriate. It is best suited for snow, wind, and lighter precipitation.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket loosely in a dry environment. Avoid long-term compression, as this can reduce the down's ability to loft and insulate effectively.
What are the pocket configurations?
The jacket features two zippered hand pockets and one invisible zippered chest pocket for secure storage of essentials.
Troubleshooting
Down clusters are visible through the fabric.
This is normal for high-quality down insulation. Gently pull the down cluster back inside the fabric from the opposite side if it protrudes significantly. Avoid pulling forcefully.
Jacket has lost loft and insulation.
The down may have become compressed or wet. Follow the washing and drying instructions carefully to restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers on outdoor gear.
Fabric feels clammy or less breathable.
The Pertex® Quantum Pro fabric has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish. If performance diminishes, the DWR may need refreshing. Use a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Glaceon Pro arrives ready to wear. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before your first use. Adjust the hood and cuffs to your preferred fit.
Compatibility:
- The jacket is designed to accommodate most climbing helmets under its hood.
- Adjustable cuffs are designed to fit snugly over various glove types.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Use a front-loading machine, as top-loaders can damage the down.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up any clumps of down and restore loft.
- Storage: Store the jacket loosely in a dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can degrade the down's loft and insulation properties.
- Repairs: For small tears in the fabric, use seam sealing tape or a patch kit designed for technical outerwear. For significant damage, consult a professional repair service.
