Fits my needs

Written on Jan 10, 2025

I own and love multiple Rab pieces. But I’ve been on the hunt for a down piece warm enough for belaying or backcountry camping that provided significant warmth with packability and function. It’s not ultralight but at just under 20 ounces on my scale it’s more than workable. The medium is a perfect fit for me ( 5 ft 11 in, 175 lbs with athletic build) with great mobility and arm length. With 7.5 ounces of 800 FP, it will work well for warmth. The hood has great adjustability and even though it adds some weight, I like the Velcro wrist cuff adjustment. The 20D Pertex Quantum Pro is a nice compromise of durability without too much of a weight penalty.All in all it hits on all the important characteristics for me- warmth, acceptable weight and durability, packable and great functionality.

Great , lightweight sock

This is my third pair. I use them primarily for working out. Thin but wear like iron and keep my feet dry because they wick moisture well. I really like the high quality products Smartwool puts out. Recommend!

Great tent foot print

Love the Unna tent . Nice to protect the tent floor in muddy conditions

Worth the money for the quality and design

Written on Jun 10, 2016

I own a lot of arcteryx so I'm willing to pay more for high quality. In deciding to add winter camping to my outdoor pursuits and researching tents, Hilleberg kept coming up as the best. I chose the Unna. I loved the design and simplicity, and it has enough interior size for myself and some gear that I can move freely a little better and not feel claustrophobic. No significant vestibule ( small space between inner and outer tent) is the trade off. If you want a bomber tent with less inner space and a nice vestibule with similar weight to the Unna, check out the Soulo. Camps aver is # 1 with customer service

Nice jacket, not fitted enough

Written on Jan 15, 2015

I was excited to get this jacket based on reviews and the Rab name. Unfortunately, the fit was 'off' for my build. I'm 6' 175 lbs with an athletic build. The Medium was to tight in the shoulders and short in the arms. The large was a bit big in the body. Liked the quality and design, just not meant for my build

Nice Midlayer

Written on Dec 12, 2014

I haven't put it through the ringer yet, but so far so good. If your looking for a form fitting midlayer that allows plenty of mobility, this may be your ticket. Caution. Not extremely wind resistant. It's strength is that it's Polartec Power Dry so it dries with extreme efficiency with high output activities. I purchased it as a hiking and snowshoeing midlayer. It could be a stand alone on a cool, dry , non-windy day. I can't comment on durability but it's extremely comfortable. I'm 6' , 175lbs with athletic build and the medium is extremely form fitting which is how I like base and mid layers
