    Rab infinity Down JacketIn October this year I packed the Rab Women's Infinity Down Jacket for an 18-day trek in the Everest region of Nepal. The plan was to go to 6000m and to carry our own gear so I was looking for a jacket that would keep my body warm at altitude whilst packing light and small.

    If you haven't heard about Rab, it's likely because they are fairly new to the North American gear scene but don't let that deceive you, Rab have been manufacturing outdoor gear since the 1981. At that time, the founder and mountaineer Rab Carrington used his mountain experience to develop fine down sleeping bags and expedition weight parkas. Rab has expanded since then and now offer a wide range of down and synthetic jackets and pants, as well as base layer and mid-weight fleeces and other accessories.
