The Rab Valiance Jacket is a premium winter insulated shell designed for adult men who require a balance of waterproof protection and high-loft warmth for cold-weather adventures. Featuring 700FP down insulation shielded by a 2-layer Pertex Shield exterior, this jacket is built to keep you dry and comfortable in wet, wintry conditions; however, its stitch-through baffle construction means it is better suited for stationary warmth or moderate activity rather than high-exertion mountaineering where excessive sweating might compromise the down's performance.

Yes, it is constructed with a 2-layer Pertex Shield waterproof fabric, though long-term exposure to extreme downpours may require refreshing the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
Yes, its waterproof properties and warmth make it suitable for resort skiing, though you may find it too warm for intense, high-speed runs.
700FP refers to 700 Fill Power, which measures the fluffiness or loft of the down insulation; a higher number indicates better quality down that provides more warmth for its weight.
If water stops beading on the surface, wash the jacket and apply a technical DWR spray-on treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
Yes, it includes an internal zipped security pocket for storing valuables.
The hood is designed with a 2-point adjustment system, but it is primarily tailored for everyday use; it may accommodate some smaller helmets, but it is not specifically a climbing-helmet-compatible hood.
This is normal for down jackets; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out through the shell.
The down has likely lost its loft due to moisture or dirt. Wash the jacket using down-specific soap and tumble dry with dryer balls.
Check the AquaGuard tracks for debris or sand. Clean gently with a damp cloth; do not use heavy lubricants which can attract more dirt.
To ensure the longevity of your Rab Valiance Jacket, always store it in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing the down for extended periods. When washing, use a dedicated down-specific cleaning agent and wash on a gentle cycle in a front-loading machine. It is critical to tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help the down regain its original loft. Avoid dry cleaning as the chemicals can strip the natural oils from the down. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
