The Inferno Basecamp Jacket is Rabs latest super warm & water resistant offering for winter belays in the coldest, dampest conditions. Its also perfect for less technical activities that require maximum warmth & protection. The Inferno basecamp jacket, as the name suggests, cooks up an inferno of heat & is perfect for less strenuous activities in freezing & damp conditions; like hanging around at basecamp for instance. The jacket has been designed to cope with extreme cold & wet conditions & has a load of practical features to make it perfectly capable of dealing with the wear & tear of the outdoor work environment. Rab have used their own Pyrotec 100% recycled synthetic fibre to provide insulation in the harshest environments. Pyrotec has a multi-denier construction that resists compression yet packs down easily. The fibres themselves are hydrophobic, so they absorb very little water & dry out exceptionally quickly. The Inferno Basecamp uses different weights of fabric to maximise warmth, breathability & practicality; the main body uses 200g/m², the arms & hood use 160g/m² & the wrists use 60g/m². To protect the insulation from the elements a Pertex Endurance shell is used; this lightweight yet incredibly strong fabric has a light PU coating that is water resistant, windproof & breathable & has a hydrostatic head of 1000mm. This Endurance fabric also extends up the hem lining to prevent moisture from wicking up inside the jacket. A much lighter & more breathable Pertex Quantum is used to line the Inferno Basecamp helping to maintain breathability & compression. The main zip is a YKK Aqua Guard VISLON zip that is highly water resistant & runs smoothly even in freezing condition & is backed up by an insulated baffle to prevent cold spots. The Napoleon chest pockets use the YKK Aquaguard Vislon zips & are lined with Pertex Endurance making them perfect for stashing soggy items such as gloves & hats. The two fleece lined handwarmer pockets also feature YKK Aqua Guard zips; none of the pockets are completely waterproof, so if you have items that must be kept dry (mobile phone or GPS) protect them with a waterproof case or bag. Two internal mesh pockets complete the storage capabilities & are perfect for storing water bottles to stop them freezing. Rab have used their superb hood design for the fully helmet compatible fixed hood. The hood may be able to accommodate a mountaineering helmet but it adjusts to fit your head comfortably & features a wired peak to stop it flapping around your face. I really like the Rab hood design, it works with all headgear without being too big & baggy.
