Our down clothing range is predominantly supplied by Rab, due in no small part to the quality of their Free-Range goose and duck down, which we believe is second to none. This year we have also included the much admired Crux Plasma jacket.
Natural down is a requirement in the coldest of environments, and when low bulk and weight as well as warmth is required. It is still the best and lightest thing around, bar none. The features of insulation provided by down garments is produced by a mixture of the down type, the amount of down used, the ratio of down to feather (the more down the better the insulation), the fill power (its ability to resist compression and to loft- the higher the fill power the better the down), the durability of the down itself and the way in which it is used, ie the construction of the garment. See the Down Sleeping Bags page for an in-depth discussion of down properties, statistics and qualities.
Most of the down we sell is housed within a range of high quality Pertex shells. Pertex is highly wind resistant, light-weight, high wicking (so it stops condensation collecting against the down) and water-shedding (this is enhanced by use of a Durable Water Repellent treatment). There are a number of different grades of Pertex in use, with each jacket using the most suited to its ideal use. Where the lowest possible weight is required, Quantum is often used whilst where increased durability and water-resistance comes into play Endurance can often be found.
The flagship down jacket is the Neutrino Endurance, which comes in a ladies' and a men's cut. 220g of 96% Polish White Goose down with an excellent 750+ fill power in a Pertex Quantum Endurance shell is a shivering winter mountaineers dream. This jacket is extremely lightweight, packable and warm. It is superb in the mountains and also a favourite with cold-weather film crews.
There is also a Neutrino Endurance Vest with 110g of the same high-quality down. For women, the ProActive jacket is worth a look for less serious use. It is still warm, but doesn't pack down quite as small and is a touch heavier. Patagonia's Down Sweater is incredibly light, and while not as toasty as a normal fully filled down jacket, it gives excellent insulation for less than 400g.
For regular high mountain use you will need more warmth and a greater degree of water and abrasion resistance. We stock the Summit and Summit Womens jackets. This classic longer cut design provides comfort whether you are kicking around your base camp in the evenings or sitting tight in a winter belay. It uses Pertex Endurance for the outer, with added protection on shoulders, sides and elbows. 250g of 90% goose down with a 660+ (EU) fill power in box wall construction allows the down to loft even better.
Crux have long been known and loved at Up and Under as providers of top end, bombproof mountaineering gear. Their rucksacks and waterproofs are amongst the best around, and now they've combined 165g of the highest quality 750 fill power Polish goose down with waterproof, breathable eVent to create the Plasma Jacket. This follows the warm reception of their previous eVent and down creation, the Crux Torpedo sleeping bag.
Finally there is the Neutrino Extreme jacket which is designed for higher altitudes and long haul trips in extreme winter conditions. It uses a toasty 330g of the Polish white down and a box wall construction to allow this down to loft to its maximum potential. This awesome jacket suits expedition users operating in the 6-7000m region and for winter Alpine bigwalling.
Do you operate at the three poles, North, South and altitude? Then the Rab's Expedition range of jackets, salopettes, booties, mitts and suits is the only is your only sensible option, but don't worry because these products are absolutely the best! Most of the range can be found in our Extreme Expedition section.
