Tried and tested design, excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, multiple sizes and versions Pricey, narrow mummy-style won't suit everyone Rab's Neutrino down sleeping bags have a longstanding and stellar reputation. Now featuring an eco upgrade for 2022, with PFC-free DWR treatments and more recycled materials (such as the 100% polyamide lining and recycled Pertex Quantum shell), the range is described by Rab as "lightweight
in your packs and on the planet" with "exceptional packability and warmth-to-weight". And it's difficult to disagree. The bags are fully-featured and well- designed, delivering a warm and comfy night's sleep. There are 10 products to choose from, each filled with 800 fill power goose down.
The fill weight, however, increases in 100g increments from 200 to 900, with the number after each bag relating to its fill weight. Eight bags are in unisex versions, the 400 and 600 are available in women's specific versions too, and the 300, 500, 700 and 900 are 'pro' versions with a more weather-resistant Pertex Quantum Pro shell. The alpine-inspired Neutrino 400 is a particularly good option, with a tapered mummy design, chevron-shaped baffles, angled footbox, and -1°C comfort rating despite weighing just 775g.
