RAB USES RDS CERTIFIED DOWN
Down is graded according to the size of the clusters, that is the amount of air that the down is able to trap relative to its weight.
To do this is taken 1 gram of fully lofted down and its volume is recorded, the result represents the down’s “Fill power”.
Water repellent “hydrophobic” treatment to the down.
This treatment significantly improves the performance of the down by preventing the clusters from absorbing moisture and helping it to retain its loft.
In the event that the down does become waterlogged the treatment significantly decreases the time it takes the down to dry and its loft to recover.
In stitch through (or sewn through) garments the baffles are created by stitching the outer fabric directly to the inner fabric.
Rab use stitch through construction in most of their down jackets as it minimizes the amount of outer fabric and stitching required, which provides a significant weight saving.
Whilst this is the best construction method for lightweight garments, it does have one drawback.
Because the down is pinched at the seams, reducing the space it has to loft, stitch through garments have a less consistent level of insulation than those constructed using box wall baffles.
