While the active mid layer has become the most popular style of insulated jacket the nimbus is a straight up puffy complete with overstuffed horizontal baffles designed for maximum heat retention.
Rab insulated jacket review.
Insulation and insulated jackets are where it all began for rab.
This is all body mapped.
The rab nimbus is the warmest insulated jacket that we tested for this review and combined with its affordable price is a logical choice as our best buy for warmth.
Apparently water proof but still feel soft nice color easily being spotted in backcountry background necessary adjustment hood cuff waist more fit than another 850 rab warmer down jacket bought previously.
This cosy jacket from mountaineering brand arc teryx uses a thermally efficient down with a fill power of 850 that s one of the highest ratings out of the jackets featured here.
The rab nimbus is a perfect example as it s the warmest jacket in this review and also one of the least expensive.
With a slick and highly wind resistant atmos outer shell combined with impressive warmth retention despite its very light weight the xenon is our favorite outer layer.
While it doesn t quite compare to heavy parkas or down jackets there is no doubt that the thick cirrus featherless insulation that fills this baffled jacket traps the warmth your body creates.
