to the Montane Quattro Fusion, a jacket we very much enjoyed testing and

Trek Scotland Review - Rab Infinity Jacket
Posted by Trek Scotland on Dec 14, 2020
The Rab Infinity jacket is around the largest and heaviest jacket we would look to pack within our kit, able to combat the coldest temperatures you will most likely face in the UK.

UOG Reviews - Rab Infinity G Jacket
Posted by Mark Richardson on Sep 10, 2018
Mark's ReviewThere are some fabulously lightweight down jackets around but the key point is not so much their overall weight but how much of that weight is down, as that is the material that keeps you warm, so the more of it in a jacket the warmer that jacket will be.For all us ‘gram counters’ then we want the lightest jacket consistent with the level of warmth we need, happily you can compare the

Cairngorm Treks Review - Rab Infinity G Jacket
Posted by Cairngorm Treks on Feb 19, 2018
When first handling the Rab Infinty G jacket its instantly noticeable
just how light this product is when considering it contains a massive
240 grams of 850 fill power down. In a medium size the overall weight of
the jacket is 404 grams. This is then not only a very light jacket for
its warmth rating, but one of the lightest we have ever used. The outer
is made of a noticeably thin Perte

UOG Reviews - Rab Continuum Jacket
Sep 25, 2017
Michael's ReviewIn the new Continuum Jacket Rab have managed to increase the amount of down in the jacket by 10g with next to no increase, just 2g, in overall weight which is pretty impressive. The change comes with the loss of the chest pocket but very little else that I can see. The outer fabric is looking a lot shinier which is part of the weight saving development in modern fabric. This not go
