New Rab items for Autumn/Winter

As an avid lover of the sun and heat (unfortunately not regularly forthcoming in the United Kingdom), the approach of Autumn has left me rather downhearted. However, the good thing about working for Outdoor Kit is that I get to see some amazing Winter products!
In particular, I have been very excited about our new items from ground-breaking mountainwear enthusiasts, Rab. I've picked a few from our highly anticipated selection - down-insulated, Primaloft-insulated and soft-shell jackets.

One I have immediately earmarked for trying on (and, most probably, purchasing) is the Women's Microlight Alpine Jacket. Not only is the lightweight jacket filled with 750+ fill-power goose down (toasty warm, to you and me), the hood itself is also down-filled - maintaining insulation from head to hem! For extra comfort in the cold winds to come, there are two elasticated handwarmer pockets and the hem and cuffs are Lycra-bound. When not in use, the jacket also stuffs away into it's own pocket - ideal for packing away, when chilling out in a cosy pub after a taxing Winter walk with the dogs.

Rab's Primaloft range includes the revised Photon Hoodie - consisting of a Pertex Microlight outer shell (lightweight, windproof, water-repellant), a Pertex Quantum inner (featherweight and soft as silk) and technical synthetic insulator Primaloft in the body, hood and arms. The Photon Hoodie stands out from the crowd with the helmet compatible, fully adjustable (and then some) hood, and also the quilted side panels - stabilising the insulation, protecting you from the cold. Primaloft differs from down in that it retains most heat even when wet, so if the rain does hit while you're out with your Photon Hoodie, losing heat will not be a major problem.

The Men's Vapour-Rise Trail Jacket is a unique softshell with a detachable, rollaway hood - meaning you can vary your style to suit the climate! When in use, the wired hood is attached with Velcro and zip fastenings. The fabric is Pertex Equilibrium - designed to maintain body temperature and comfort, drawing moisture away from the skin whilst being weatherproof and water-resistant. The Vapour-rise also includes a microfleece wicking inner for maximum comfort.

We'll also we getting in more down, Primaloft and softshells, AND fleeces - as well as Rab's famous shell jackets. Expect a very favourable review when we get our hands on them!
