Our Verdict

The Rab Glaceon Pro Down Jacket is a top contender for those who tackle winter hiking and mountaineering. With a fill weight of 256g and 700 fill power, it offers an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for high-altitude adventures where every gram counts. The Pertex® Quantum Pro fabric is windproof and water-resistant, offering reliable protection against harsh elements, while the fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment and hydrophobic down keep you dry without compromising on sustainability.

On the trail, the jacket feels lightweight yet robust, with a comfortable fit that layers easily over other gear. The helmet-compatible hood with its stiffened peak is thoughtful, providing excellent coverage without sacrificing visibility. The two-way YKK® VISLON® front zip is smooth to operate, even with gloves, and the insulated storm flap effectively keeps out the chill.

The Glaceon Pro is not just for when you're on the move; it’s also fantastic when you need to be inactive in the cold, such as when belaying a climbing partner. The jacket's exceptional insulation and windproof fabric mean you can stand still for extended periods without feeling the cold bite. The adjustable cuffs and hem help seal in warmth, while the down-filled hood ensures your head stays warm, which is crucial when holding position at the base of a climb.

One of the standout features is the attention to detail in its design, like the tricot-lined chin guard and the adjustable cuffs that ensure a snug fit when wearing gloves. The jacket packs down well, making it convenient to stow away when not in use. At 587g for the medium size, it's not the lightest in its category. However, the trade-off in weight is justified by its superior warmth and durability.
