WTB Rab Infinity OR Neutrino Endurance Women's Jacket

Sat 05 Sep, 2015 4:33 pm

Pretty specific but I'm looking for either one of these two jackets.

I'm usually an AUS Size 10 so that correlates I think to a UK 10 or might consider a 12.

:)

Keep an eye out on Cotswold Outdoors, Rab has just released updated versions of both jackets so the old versions should be cleared out pretty soon. I picked up a guys version in an old colour for $270 + $9 shipping last year and that price seems pretty common.

Thanks yes they have one for $310 right now :)
So Rab have just released a new version eh... I've been trying to figure out what the hell is going on... I think the infinity isn't even on the Rab website right now...

the neutrino is there
neutrino has slightly more down and heavier duty nylon shell and weighs about 100gm more than the infinity.

Really can't decide between the two! Hence why I will go with whichever I can get a good price on!
Infinity would be the best for me I think but doesn't have two way zip... but Neutrino would be amazing too.

if you're mainlly using it around camp and not with a pack on, the lighter one will be fine, if you're going to be scraping it against rocks or wearing it with a pack a bit on trips then the heavier one

I'd go for the Neutrino, its not too much heavier but with a substantially more durable outer. The new Neutrino's are using a VISLON zipper too which is less stiff and much easier to handle with gloves on. At least from the guys point of view the Neutrino seems to have a Bigger cut compared to the Infinity so that might play into it for you.

Thanks. I think the Neutrino is the way to go if possible. Am trying one on when I visit Hobart this weekend.
