That's something in favour of the RAB jacket. I don't know why really, I find removable hoods are just a hassle for virtually no benefit. Just looking at your links, I notice the ME jacket has a zip off hood. Maybe a thread asking "down gear for winter 7000 mtrs?" would get you some other folks experiences. I spend quite a lot of time out in cold conditions in the Scandinavian winter but have no experience of the Himalayas in winter - there are people here on UKC like Damo and ice.solo who I think do though. 7000 mtrs in winter sounds very very cold, so I imagine you'd want a pretty heavy jacket. ![]() In reply to amandaseims: It might be good to enquire at the type of shop that is likely to sell kit this serious - somewhere like Peglers perhaps? - as to what they would suggest for the type of trip you are doing. We're carrying kit on the mountain so weight is an issue but 300g isn't too much of a bother if there is a significant difference in performance between these jackets.ĭoes anyone have any experience of using either as I haven't found any reviews to compare the two? I would assume that the Rab would be warmer with its higher fill power but I'm not sure about this as I've been told the warmth also depends on the construction of the jacket. I've just seen that Rab do a jacket called the Neutrino Endurance Plus which is 300g lighter and states a fill power of 750+. We have been keen to get the Mountain Equipment Cho-Oyu/Annapurna jacket but this is fairly heavy and only states a fill power of 600+. I am going to 7000m in the Himalayas this winter with a bunch of other ladies and gents and we want a really warm jacket costing less than £250 ideally. ![]()
