Rab inferno shield hoodie - Rab Inferno Shield Hoodie - Mens

I'm using the Inferno Shield hooded parka as a belay jacket and find it even warmer than I'd expected for it's 80/60 g insulation weight , most likely due to the additional wind resistance of the Pertex Shield breathable waterproof shell. The fit is accurate and generously cut tho one must consider that Rab uses Euro/Unisex sizing. By upsizing one size I cam comfortably wear a medium-heavy down jacket beneath it without compressing the loft in the body or arms. I've previously owned Rab rainwear with Pertex Shield and have found it very durable and yet highly compressible & light in weight unlike most Goretex and eVent shell parkas that I've used. This is definitely the nicest, most practical and effective belay jacket I've ever used, especially in soggy wet-cold conditions hovering at the freezing point- highly recommended!
