Rab neutrino plus review3/12/2024 ![]() ![]() The Neutrino Endurance is composed entirely of state-of-the-art materials. Our only minor gripe was the velcro-based hood adjustment. The hood is easily stowable using a simple hook/loop interface. Two roomy handwarmer pockets and an interior stash pocket get the job done and keep weight and bulk low. The Neutrino Endurance’s features are intentionally simple, which is refreshing in an age of unnecessary bells and whistles. A stuff sack is included, and packs an XL jacket down to about twice the size of a Nalgene bottle. The warmth-to-weight ratio is among the best we’ve ever seen, which was critical when setting up camp after a long skin. The Neutrino Endurance weighs in at a scant 1.4 pounds (653 grams) for a size Large, virtually unnoticeable to our testers.

Many high-loft down jackets have a boxy, short fit that makes for drafty, chilly moments. From the simple, well thought-out features to the light weight and excellent heat retention, we love it for performance at subzero temperatures. A frigid winter camping trip in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains served as the perfect proving grounds for the Neutrino.
