Many thanks again to Hannah. I already own the Electron vest and I have worn it almost everyday since buying it back in October. Your review convinced me to buy the Electron jacket and its fabulous! I love how the jacket is thicker and warmer than my Rab Microlight Summit jacket but is still very stylish while not being too puffy. Highlights for me are the long length especially the drop cap baffle on the back. The length is particularly effective when its windy and you have the hem cinched on both sides. The large comfort cuffs work great with my long ski gloves. I love the "zipper garage" microfleece which covers the last 10% of the zip near your neck.
It makes it more comfortable when you have it zipped up nice and snug and when using the hood. The jacket seems to encourage you to zip it more and I do. Finally, the hood is fantastic on those extra cold days or when its windy. It’s so warm, comfortable and not noisy to wear/move around in. When its cinched its also doesn’t blow off or fill up with cold air from the wind. The jacket is so light in weight but incredibly warm, comfortable and the fabric is gorgeous. I feel like I am wearing a down sleeping bag and I love every moment of it.

Hi Sarah, the Rab Electron has quickly established itself as a bit of a "classic" and a Trekitt "favourite. Thanks for watching. Paul.
Wish u can mention the temperature u are in so we know the warmth level. Thanks!
Thanks, Hannah. How do I change the default voice on my GPS to yours? 🙂
170g of downweight, does it mean that the total down in that jacket is 170g or does it mean that does it mean that 170g/certain area?
Hi, the 170g refers to the total weight of down (in a size 12) throughout the whole jacket
Trekitt Thank you.
