Expedition 8000 Down Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This jacket is overbuilt in all the right ways. I wore it during a sub-zero basecamp stay and barely noticed the wind. The box-wall construction and wired hood trap heat where it matters, and every feature—from the mitt-friendly cuffs to the oversized zips—feels expedition-ready."

When we push into the most inhospitable corners of the planet—high on an 8000-meter ridge or across polar terrain—the gear we carry has to deliver. The Expedition 8000 Jacket from Rab is designed with one mission: to keep us warm and functional in the world’s harshest conditions. Insulated with 850-fill European goose down treated with a Nikwax hydrophobic finish, this is the warmest jacket in Rab’s lineup, built for performance at the coldest extremes.

Its Pertex® Quantum Pro outer shell resists snow, wind, and abrasion, while the Pertex® Quantum lining boosts warmth retention and loft. The box-wall baffle design and differential cut ensure insulation stays lofty and thermal bridges are eliminated. It features a helmet-compatible hood, side vent zips for dumping heat on the move, and articulated elbows that maintain mobility under layers. Oversized mitt-friendly zippers, storm flaps, and reflective accents round out this specialized piece. This is not just a jacket—it’s essential shelter for the summit.
