Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

What is the Valiance Jacket?

Rab's Valiance Jacket is the ultimate weatherproof jacket, built to last with a waterproof, insulated construction that uses high quality, mostly recycled materials. It's a fantastic option for when the weather is cold and miserable, and you don't fancy taking your regular down jacket for a spin for fear of getting it soggy.

What is it made of?

The Valiance has been given a sustainable revamp, now using more recycled materials than ever before - but don't worry! It's still super functional, offering maximum protection against the elements.

It uses a 30D Pertex® Shield 2L coated fabric with added DWR on the outer shell to give maximum waterproof protection and a smooth 20D Recycled Ripstop Nylon for the lining. Two types of insulation have been used to fill the jacket - a quality 700FP Recycled Hydrophobic Down and Stratus™ Synthetic sheet insulation.

Insulation: The jacket uses 191g of 700 fill power Recycled Down, meaning there's a mix of different types of down within the jacket, creating a unique, much more sustainable type of insulation.

If you're a little unsure about what down actually is, it is made up of clusters of tiny feather strands that trap heat. As the down lofts (fluffs up) it can trap more warmth than if it were to be compacted into a small space (or packed up into stuffsacks, which generally is how you store a down jacket). This is why it's so important to get a quality jacket with a construction that allows its insulation to loft effectively! Most down insulation comes from ducks and geese, and Rab's recycled down uses a mixture of both.

The down is treated with a Nikwax fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finish, which adds light water resistance to the down itself.

Can't quite catch the lingo? Here's a quick break down.

Fill power - Fill power measures the warmth and efficiency of the down, alongside its ability to loft/fluff up. A rating of 700 fill power means that 1oz of this down fills 700 cubic inches of space when fully lofted. For a more detailed explanation, you can check out our YouTube video on fill power by clicking here.

Hydrophobic - Hydrophobic down dries out and lofts quicker, resisting moisture from sweat that may build up as you warm up inside the jacket. Fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finishes don't use harmful chemicals that cause damage to the environment - a bonus for more eco-conscious adventurers.

Secondary Insulation: Stratus™ Synthetic Sheet Insulation in the hood and cuffs. Stratus™ insulation is a high-performance synthetic insulation developed by Rab, powered by Thermore®. It uses 100% recycled fibres from post-consumer PET bottles - another win for the environment! Stratus™ has a fantastic warmth to weight ratio, and is finished using a fibre migration treatment for extra durability.

Main fabric: The outer shell is fully taped and uses 30D Pertex® Shield - a waterproof fabric with a Hydrostatic Head rating of 10,000mm, which is a good level for a waterproof jacket. Pertex® Shield delivers lightweight, packable, waterproof and windproof protection yet is incredibly breathable, helping you to feel comfortable all day long. Taping runs across every seam inside the jacket and stops water from seeping through any stitching. It's finished with a fluorocarbon free DWR (Durable Water Repellent), which adds an extra layer of water resistance onto the fabric to optimise its already waterproof properties. Similar to a fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finish, this type of DWR is also much better for the environment.

Lining: The lining is constructed with a 20D Recycled Ripstop Nylon, which offers extra durability yet feels really smooth and lightweight, reducing the overall bulk of the jacket and being much more sustainable than regular ripstop fabrics.

What are the features?

The Valiance has bonded, narrow boxwall construction for reduced weight, bulk, and maximum warmth. A boxwall structure gives the down more space to fluff up than classic stitch-through baffles. The more the insulation lofts, the more heat it can trap inside. Bonded baffles don't require stitching, meaning fewer tiny holes (usually caused by the sewing needles) run through the materials, maximising the jacket's weatherproof protection and warmth rating. Bonding helps stop water seeping in and cold spots developing while reducing weight and bulk.

The hood has a two way adjustment system, allowing the wearer to optimise the fit around the head for when the heavens start to open. The hood has a wired peak at the front, super handy if you get caught in a downpour and would rather wait 'til you get home to shower.

High wear areas, including the hood and the cuffs are insulated using synthetic Stratus™ insulation, which keeps warm when wet and is much more resilient than down, perfect for some extra reinforcement. The cuffs are slimline and have a handy hook and loop adjustment, which is super easy to use, even with gloves on or numb fingers!

The centre YKK® VISLON® zip has an internal zip baffle, preventing a cold spot at the zip, as without the baffle, there would be no insulation there at all! Clever, right?

Storage isn't a problem with the Valiance. It has two zipped hand warmer pockets to stuff your paws in if you've forgotten your gloves and a zipped internal security pocket for storing valuables like car keys or a phone.

At the hem of the jacket, you'll find a dual sided rear adjustment to cinch in around the waist and hips, stopping that cold wind from flying up your coat. The hem is dropped, so it comes much lower down, providing a little extra coverage around the lower back area and protecting the top of your trousers too!

How does it fit?

The Valiance Jacket has a regular fit, making it perfect for layering or simply chucking on over a baselayer during the autumn. It feels pretty snug once you put it on but not tight or restrictive at all, so there is plenty of room for a thick fleece underneath.

Disclaimer: Going forward, Rab has stopped providing stuff sacks for most of their insulated jackets as a responsible step toward eliminating fabric waste. This helps reduce the creation of unnecessary fabric, cord, and trim from unused stuff sacks while also saving the potential emissions used to manufacture them. Instead, they are available to purchase separately and are now made from offcut materials and end-of-roll fabrics for an even lower environmental impact.
