Rab's Neutrino range features 800 Fill Power down intelligently baffled and a Tapered Mummy shape for an excellent warmth to weight ratio. An excellent all-round bag for trekking or fast & light.
Rab says:
Eliminating excess bulk with a highly tapered design and offering high warmth for its weight, this bag is built for fast and light mountain missions in the spring and summer. Filled with 800FP goose down and covered with a recycled, wind resistant Pertex® Quantum outer.
For the alpinist looking for a lightweight, low bulk bag suitable for spring and summer temperatures, the Neutrino 200 offers exceptional packability and warmth for its weight. Designed with a narrow mummy fit, for reduced bulk and pack size, and constructed with lightweight, high performance materials. It’s perfect for two season mountain missions.
The Neutrino 200 is filled with 200g of 800FP, goose down, stabilised in chevron shaped baffles, cleverly designed to reduce the amount of fabric needed compared to traditional horizontal baffles. The trapezoid boxwall baffle construction allows the down to fully loft, eliminates cold spots, and maximises warmth. Additional baffles along the length of the zip and around the neck decrease heat loss, and with an adjustable drawcord around the hood you can cinch the bag around your face.
Now built with a recycled nylon lining and recycled Pertex® Quantum outer, it’s wind resistant and a little lighter on the planet too. The down is also finished with a Nikwax, fluorocarbon-free hydrophobic treatment for coping with condensation. It has a ¾ length zip with anti-snag zip guards, a zipped internal stash pocket and comes with a waterproof roll-top compression sack for easy stashing.
Hand-filled in the UK, all our down bags benefit from never having had their down compressed before use, maintaining the down’s loft and warmth.
Our Verdict
Rab's Neutrino 200 Down Sleeping Bag is one of their key sleeping bags, designed for mountaineering, trekking and fast & light activities, its filled with high quality 800 Fill Power down with technical trapezoidal boxwall baffles and a differential cut which offsets the seams and eliminates cold spots.
The Neutrino bags use Pertex Quantum as the outer shell which is wind resistant making the Neutrino bags excellent all-rounders.
They are also a Tapered Mummy shape which means they are a bit 'neater' than your standard Mummy specification, so some people who don't like being in a restrictive bag may not like them so much, however this type of design does make the bags more efficient as they reduce heat loss due to air movement inside the bag.
The rest of the bag is up to Rab's high standard with features and construction to a very high standard.
