Rab Electron Pro Jacket

The Electron Pro is insulated with hydrophobic goose down treated with a Nikwax water-repellent finish, which helps the down resist moisture and maintain loft in damp conditions. This treatment is a key differentiator from standard down jackets, which lose their insulating properties when wet.

The jacket uses Pertex Quantum, a lightweight, tightly woven nylon fabric known for its wind resistance, soft hand feel, and downproof construction. The Quantum fabric helps prevent down feathers from leaking through while keeping overall weight to a minimum.

No, while the hydrophobic down treatment and Pertex Quantum fabric offer some resistance to moisture, the Electron Pro is not waterproof and will not withstand sustained rain. For wet conditions, Rab recommends their synthetic-insulated jackets, which retain warmth even when soaked.

The Electron Pro is positioned as a warmer, more technical version of the standard Electron, designed for mountaineering and cold-weather use. The Pro version uses a higher fill weight of down and a more protective hood configuration, while the standard Electron is more oriented toward everyday and hill-walking use.
