## Description

The Rab Men’s Positron Pro Hoody is a heavyweight down jacket designed for winter mountaineering, high-altitude ice climbs, and expeditions. It features the high-loft, 800-fill down insulation for extreme loft and surprising packability for a puffy this big. Rab finished the down insulation for hydrophobic moisture protection that keeps the down lofty in alpine climates. A windproof, downproof, and highly water-resistant Pertex Quantum Pro shell blocks breezes, snow, and spindrift. Articulated sleeves ensure full mobility up and down the mountain, and a regular fit lets you layer up comfortably.

Review: A jacket you want to wear! - I was looking for a super warm down coat that I could throw on over a T shirt and be warm. THIS IS THAT COAT! Whatever material RAB is using is so nice against the skin, this coat feels so good to wear. And it’s super warm, you can wear over a T shirt go outside in 15 degree weather and feel nothing. The hood is equally as cozy and warm, and even riled up behind your neck if your not using it. It comes with the territory and I new this when I bought the coat, but it being soooo warm, it was just a little to puffy marshmallow for my tastes. Not a fault of the coat and my wife thought it looked fine, but I just felt it was too much for me. Other than that, with the proper pair of insulated pants, I think you could survive sub zero temps with just a T shirt in this coat. Really nice piece of “survival” equipment, or if you just hate being cold ever, this is the coat you need. I wore a size medium.
Review: Excellent heavy down jacket; solid construction - Not much else to say. It is very warm and there is room to wear a few layers under it, as needed. I am quite pleased with this purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A jacket you want to wear!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent heavy down jacket; solid construction
*by R***N on December 30, 2024*

Not much else to say. It is very warm and there is room to wear a few layers under it, as needed. I am quite pleased with this purchase!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Terrible zipper
*by J***E on December 4, 2024*

The basic jacket is excellent, however, it comes with a cheap 25 cent light gauge plastic zipper. In addition, the zipper is in the left hand position, which, I find awkward. This location is common for a women's coat.
