Size is Off

Written on Dec 06, 2023

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

Written on Dec 04, 2017

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.
