If you’re planning mountain adventures this autumn and winter, don’t leave purchasing your alpine clothing until the last minute!

At BCH Camping we help customers to prepare for a wide range of outdoor pursuits and hobbies, including climbing. We know that only the best gear and clothing will do for successful days at the crag.

Rab is a leading brand in this space, constantly innovating to develop the most responsive and durable high-performance products.

Here, we feature the Rab Electron Pro Hoody which is a regular-fit, midi-baffled, all-mountain down jacket, specifically designed for winter walking and ‘shoulder season’ climbing when the weather is unpredictable and versatile clothing is essential.

Why is the Rab Electron Pro Hoody the go-to jacket for alpine pursuits?

Intuitive construction

The Rab Electron Pro Hoody’s lightweight, stitch-through construction provides exceptional warmth, comfort and mobility through its ‘body-mapping’ technology which gives the fabric more stretch, protection and breathability when required.

800FP down for extra warmth

Insulated with 800FP (fill power) goose down (90% goose down, 10% feather) treated with Grangers fluorocarbon-free hydrophobic finish, the Rab Electron Pro Hoody is exceptionally warm, yet lightweight.

The impressive warmth to weight ratio of the 800FP down is enhanced by the tactically positioned midi and micro baffles.

Pertex® Quantum Pro outer

Light rain is deflected by the recycled, weather resistant Pertex® Quantum Pro outer. This is a durable, lightweight fabric that encourages down to fully loft, and provides the necessary performance to cope with snow, spray, and scuffs that can be sustained against rock at the crag.

The Pertex® Quantum Pro outer is packable, breathable and protective, facilitating a swift response to changing mountain conditions.

Outer fabric and lining

The outer fabric is made from 100% recycled polyamide with polyurethane coating. The lining of the Rab Electron Pro Hoody is also 100% recycled polyamide.

Fluorocarbon free fabric

The fabric is completely free of harmful fluorocarbons including the membrane and backer, in compliance with current EU and US legislation.

Helmet compatible hood

The Rab Electron Pro Hoody has a helmet compatible hood which is an essential feature for climbers. There is a drawcord to easily adjust the hood, as well as a stiffened peak for added protection.

Hand pockets

The YKK® zipped hand pockets are accessible when wearing a harness. One of the pockets doubles up as an integrated storage space.

Belay friendly two-way front zip

Of particular benefit to climbers is the belay friendly, double-ended full-length YKK® Natulon front zip.

Stretch armholes and adjustable hem

Mobility is enhanced by the stretch armholes and adjustable hem, providing a customisable fit which is essential for technical winter activities such as climbing.

Weight

The weight of the Rab Electron Pro Hoody is 477g for a size M.
