Rab Women's Valiance Down Jacket - Waterproof, Windproof Insulator for Climbing & Mountaineering | Black XS

Overview

The Rab Women’s Valiance Jacket blends warmth with weather protection in a way that stands out from standard down insulation. Built around a waterproof, breathable Pertex Shield 2L membrane, it helps you stay comfortable as snow, rain, and wind sweep across the trail or a high-alpine wall.

Protection that travels with you

• Waterproof Down: The Valiance is one of the few down insulators that pairs a waterproof, breathable membrane with loft to keep you warm and comfortable in damp conditions.
• 700-Fill Hydrophobic Down: Lofty warmth remains lightweight and compressible, with Nikwax treatment to help warmth persist if moisture finds its way in.
• Pertex Shield 2L: Fully sealed seams deliver a reliable waterproof and breathable performance rated around 10,000 mm and 10,000 g/m².
• Zoned Synthetic Insulation: The hood and cuffs receive synthetic fill to protect warmth when the outer layers get wet.
• Mountain-Ready Features: Narrow box wall construction reduces cold spots; a 2-way adjustable hood with wired peak; hook-and-loop cuff adjustments; dual-sided hem adjustment with a dropped back; YKK zippered front; hand pockets; internal security pocket.

Materials, protection, and care

• Fluorocarbon-free DWR finish beads snow and rain from the shell, helping keep the surface cleaner and drier between wears.
• Lofty down is finished with a fluorocarbon-free Nikwax hydrophobic treatment to help warmth persist when damp.

Real-world use

Whether you’re winter hiking, climbing in sleet, or navigating city streets on chilly mornings, this jacket aims to keep you comfortable in mixed weather. The combination of waterproof outer layers, breathable interior, and thoughtful fit adjustments helps you stay focused on your route rather than the weather.

Fit, adjustability, and care

Adjustments at the hood, hem, and cuffs let you seal out drafts when the wind is up. The cut balances mobility with warmth, while the internal pocket provides a secure space for small valuables.
