Size Chart

Warm and dry. One jacket.

There are days in the mountains when no amount of layering strategy compensates for the absence of a jacket that is genuinely both warm and waterproof. The Rab Valiance Jacket is built for exactly those days. Combining a 2-layer Pertex Shield outer with 700FP down treated with Grangers Down Defend, it covers the full range of cold, wet mountain conditions without requiring a separate shell over the top. A re-engineered construction makes this iteration more repairable than previous versions, extending the jacket's usable life and reducing its long-term environmental cost. Stitch-through baffle construction maximizes down loft for consistent heat retention across the torso and arms, and a 2-point hood keeps weight and bulk to a minimum while providing meaningful coverage in less extreme conditions. A close-fitting neck baffle with a YKK VISLON AquaGuard front zip and insulated zip baffle seals warmth in at the collar and prevents cold air from tracking up through the zip. Internal soft stretch cuffs maintain a thermal seal at the wrist, dual-sided rear adjustment with a dropped hem improves warmth coverage across the lower back, and two zipped hand pockets plus one internal zipped pocket handle storage across all uses. Built for everyday outdoor use through the coldest months, this is the jacket that takes over when conditions rule out anything lighter.
