Product Information
Full details
The Rab Electron Pro is a high-performance, versatile down jacket designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts engaging in winter hiking, technical climbing, and intermediate belaying. It excels by providing an ideal balance of lightweight packability and robust warmth through its 800FP European duck down, though users should be mindful that like most down garments, its insulation properties are compromised if the outer shell becomes saturated in extreme wet conditions.

FAQs
Is the Rab Electron Pro waterproof?
No, it features a water-resistant Pertex Quantum Pro shell, which handles light snow and mist, but it is not a substitute for a hardshell jacket in heavy rain.
Can I wear this jacket with a climbing harness?
Yes, the two-way front zipper allows you to open the bottom of the jacket for easy access to your belay loop and harness.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a dry closet or in a breathable storage sack. Avoid leaving it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods.
What does 800FP mean?
800 Fill Power (FP) refers to the quality of the down; it indicates that one ounce of the down used in this jacket fills 800 cubic inches, signifying high loft and warmth.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is helmet-compatible and includes a stiffened peak and drawcord adjustments for a custom fit.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
Gently massage the fabric to pull the feather back inside rather than pulling it out, as pulling creates a larger hole.
Jacket losing loft over time
The jacket likely needs a proper wash and tumble dry with dryer balls to break up clumps and restore loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rab Electron Pro, always store the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use; avoid long-term compression in a stuff sack. When cleaning, use a dedicated down-specific soap and wash on a gentle cycle in a front-loading machine. It is critical to tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters and restore loft. The jacket is designed with a regular fit, allowing for easy layering over a base layer or light fleece.
