The Neutrino 400 is available in regular and XL. Collar: We are Rab – The complex stitching people.īy using lightweight materials and high quality down the pack size is very impressive. It looks like a complicated fabric patterning and stitching flex on their rivals but wow does it do a good job of keeping the warmth in. Inside the hood and around the neck is a shaped down filled collar. They also reduce the amount of down that will move round to the sides of the bag in the night. Baffles means stitching and stitching means colds spots, therefore less baffles means less cold spots. This allows more of the bag to be covered by less baffles. The most obvious one is the new chevron baffle design.

Rab have added some nice features to the new Neutrino bags. However the feet and torso feel much roomier than some other brands so overall you do not feel constricted. The Shape is quite tapered with the area around your shins being quite narrow. I was sat in a freezing tent with my breath misting up, but feeling comfortably warm without the usual feeling of weight around you. The lightweight fabrics and 800FP down create the strangest feeling of warmth without any weight. The liner is a lightweight ripstop nylon which feels comfortable against the skin. This super light fabric is windproof and has a DWR chemical treatment so it does not absorb water. The Neutrino 400 uses Pertex Quantum outer fabric. As a very active sleeper who tends to roll around a lot one thing I did notice was as I rolled over, the area of bag that had been compressed under me very quickly lofted back up, preventing a cold spot. The bag does loft up very quickly after removal from the stuff sack (more on this later) and was pretty much ready to go after a couple of minutes and a shake out. Having lucked out with the weather, the conditions were not very damp so I’m yet to test this. This is intended to improve the loft of the down in damper conditions i.e the UK, where down insulation traditionally performs poorly.

The down is then treated with a fluorocarbon free hydrophobic chemical. The Neutrino range is filled with 800FP Goose Down from European sources. With temperatures dropping to around -1 over night due to clear skies and the fact that its still early April I was pretty glad of a warm down bag. I’ve been using one for a few weeks, first off on an overnight trip to the Lakes. With a temperature limit down to -7C its a great bag for 2 to 3 season use in the UK.
