Rab PrimaLoft® Synthetic Insulation

Rab Product Marketing Manager, Gemma, explains the different types of PrimaLoft® synthetic insulation used in our kit.
Synthetic insulation is relatively good at dealing with moisture, especially when compared to down that has not been hydrophobically treated. When synthetic insulation is soaked it will offer more warmth than down which makes it a good choice for damp and cold conditions, typical of Scottish winter climbing.
Synthetic insulation is also generally easier to clean and care for and is also a less expensive material than down.
We've used recycled synthetic insulation for over 3 years. We use PrimaLoft Silver Insulation Luxe™ in our blown insulation jackets. And Stratus recycled sheet insulation in our Xenon and Photon Pro jackets.

How long can I expect my primoloft gold jacket to last I hear that it would break down and flatten out after a few years

1:30 silver is equivalent to down 650... I would never buy below 850
