Rab Expedition 8000 Salopettes Shark

Season:Sale

Brand:Rab

Code:QED-22-SH-

The Rab Expedition 8000 salopettes are confidently one of the warmest sets of salopettes in existence. They are designed for the coldest areas this earth has to offer, whether that's summiting Kangchenjunga or visiting Polar regions. 

Starting with the most important aspect of the salopettes (the insulation), Rab hand stuff a whopping 322g of the highest quality 850 fill power goose down into baffles which are also stitched by hand here in the UK. This down is then treated with a Fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to allow the down to retain more warmth when wet. Each expedition garment is hand stitched and stuffed in Rab's own factory, meaning the attention to detail and accuracy of the garments are second to none (see video below). 

Surrounding all of this toasty insulation is a Pertex Endurance fabric; this outer fabric is completely windproof, water resistant and highly breathable. It's one of the lightest, most reliable and durable fabrics available and is commonly used throughout insulated garments as it provides a lightweight barrier which also packs up to a small size. This fabric is also stitched incredibly densely, trapping more warm air inside and decreasing the liklihood of the down escaping over time. A lighter weight 20D Pertex Quantum is used on the inner to save weight and increase breathability.

There's no doubt that this is a big, bulky piece, it simply has to be. Rab have equipped the Expedition salopettes with knee articulation to allow a greater freedom of movement. It also makes them far more comfortable to get along with during extended use. Two side zips are added (one on each leg) to make climbing into these salopettes as easy as possible, while a two way fly zip allows toilet trips without exposing yourself to the cold. If you do happen to get a bit toasty, the side leg zips act as ventilation. 

Pockets wise you're given one large kangaroo pouch to store a phone, snacks and other small items. Adjustable support braces allow you to cusomise the height of the salopettes to your ideal setting, while reflective prints improve visibility in low light. 

Our Expedition Showroom here in Hereford is the best place to speak to our experienced sales team. We would always advise with specialist expedition gear that you pay us a visit beforehand to determine size, items and quantities. Alternatively, we will always do our best over the phone if you are a distance away (01432 263 335).

4Sleeve

This is a bit more tricky! Measure from the top of your spine (at the bottom of your neck) to your elbow and on the your wrist

5Arm

You should place the beginning of the measuring tape behind your shoulder, and feed it out following your arm making sure to pass both the elbow joint and the wrist, as pictured.
