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

Rab Women's Valiance Parka Galaxy Blue

Season:AW26

Brand:Rab

Code:QDC-06-GXB

What is the Valiance Parka?

The Valiance Parka is a warm, waterproof and protective down parka jacket designed for versatile everyday use throughout the coldest and wettest months of the year.

It combines Pertex® Shield and 700FP down to deliver the best of both worlds, making it ideal for everything from commuting to hiking, dog walking to watching the kids play football in the rain.

Now updated with improved repairability and durability, to help extend the jacket's lifespan.

Materials & Technology

Pertex® Shield 2-Layer Fabric

For waterproof protection, the jacket uses 2-layer, 40D Pertex® Shield, which is a highly breathable, waterproof fabric designed for use in the mountains when protection, weight and breathability are key.

This 2-layer waterproof material combines a durable 40D face fabric with a waterproof, windproof and breathable Pertex® membrane, for reliable protection when the weather's not playing ball.

Pertex® Shield delivers a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm and a breathability MVTR score of 20,000 g/m2/24hrs, meaning it offers great waterproof protection and breathability for various outdoor activities. The jacket feels soft, packable and noticeably quieter than a traditional shell jacket, making it exceptionally comfortable to wear.

The face fabric is finished with a PFC-Free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage rain to bead off the jacket instead of soaking in, without the use of harmful forever chemicals.

700 Fill Power Hydrophobic Down

For warmth, the jacket is filled with 220g of 700FP recycled down with Grangers hydrophobic finish for maximum loft (fluffiness) and warmth. This recycled down is made from a mix of different types of reclaimed down, creating a unique, much more responsible 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. Most down insulation comes from ducks and geese, and Rab's recycled down uses a mixture of both.

Grangers Down Defend®

The down is treated with a Grangers fluorocarbon-free Hydrophobic finish called Grangers Down Defend®. This hydrophobic down treatment is bluesign® approved and helps keep down lofted in damp conditions. It gives the down over 375x more durability than untreated down, extending the lifespan of your jacket.

Features and Functionality

Updated Stitch-Through Baffle Construction

The main update to the Valiance Parka is the upgraded stitch-through baffle design. This new construction is essentially a micro-baffle down jacket, with a waterproof 2-layer Pertex® Shield jacket over the top. By switching to traditional stitch-through baffles, Rab has increased the durability and longevity of the baffles without impacting their performance, ensuring the jacket is both easy to care for and repairable in the future.

Insulated Hood and Neck Baffle

A cosy, fully insulated hood provides shelter from the elements, whilst its two-way adjustment system allows you to optimise the fit around the head, ready for when the heavens start to open. A close-fitting neck baffle sits comfortably at the base of the neck to prevent heat escaping and maximise the jacket's warmth.

Weather-Protective Front Zip

The jacket is fastened with a YKK® VISLON® AquaGuard® front zip with an insulated zip baffle. This combination helps reduce heat loss through the front of the jacket, whilst preventing rain or wind from entering through the zip.

Practical Pocket Layout

For storage, you'll find two zipped hand pockets and a concealed zipper chest pocket offering ample storage for your daily essentials such as gloves, snacks and a beanie. The internal chest pocket provides a safe home for more valuable items such as a mobile phone, helping to protect them from the battery-draining cold weather.

Internal Stretch Cuffs and Adjustable Hem

Internal elasticated cuffs help seal in warmth around the wrists to prevent cold winds from entering the jacket, improving comfort in cold, exposed conditions.

Adjustable Waist and Extended Coverage

The jacket features a rear waist adjustment that allows you to cinch it in at the waist for a more personalised fit and better thermal efficiency on frosty days. The dropped rear hem and parka design improves warmth and provides additional coverage and weather protection across the lower body - perfect for commuting or walking the dogs when the weather's really not on your side.
