The Rab Xenon synthetic insulation jacket is a must have in your quiver of insulating layers. It maximizes an ultralight 60g/m2 Stratus (Primaloft/apex-type) continuous filament sheet insulation for a baffle-less design with an Atmos face fabric with a DWR coating. Very similar to Pertex Quantum around 20 denier. The newer Xenon 2.0 is heavier with a 30 denier face and a quilted design.
This jacket is perfect 3 season belays, mountaineering or backpacking use on its own. It can also be used for 4 season use with proper layering underneath.
At just over 11oz (Large) it is extremely light and packable. It is very windproof and highly water resistant making it a very storm worthy insulating layer at the summit of a mountain. Ideal for New England mountains and beyond.
This is my go-to layer when getting wet is even a question. The down stays home and this comes with me.
Rating 9/10.
