Review for
Rab VR Summit Jacket - Men's
Up until this item, I consistently purchased M-sized Rab upper garments, all of which fit me perfectly. This one, however, is way off; I could easily fit a child in it while wearing it. The label indicates US M size, but it could be mislabeled as an actual ES L size item. Alternatively, perhaps the sizing reflects a new reality regarding people's weight.
Another disappointing aspect is the absence of a drawcord to adjust the hood around the head. Instead, Velcro is present, but Velcro is a joke. Given that summits are typically windy locations and this jacket is marketed as a summit jacket, the hood should be highly adjustable and reliable. Not so, in my experience.

Warm Light Luxury

This sleeping bag is perfect for temperature ranging from -15 Celsius to 0. As I am a warm sleeper, I think that using it in temperature over 5 Celsius will be overkill.
The sleeping bag is really light and you will value this best in long trips when every ounce counts. It also compresses very well in a eVent Sea To Summit compression sack.
The quality is nothing short of great. The zipper is working properly.
Together with the sleeping bag, I've bought a Western Mountaineering HotSac VBL i.e. a vapor barrier liner. Not tested it, but I expect to extend the temperature range down to -20 Celsius.
