Saying that, it is a decent looking bag and the Pertex fabric appears to be currently doing a good job at mitigating dirt and is easy to wipe down. The colour pattern might not be to everyone’s taste as the bright yellow outer over time will inevitably start to show signs of wear, especially if you intend to use this bag within a bivy or without any protection. Out of personal choice we tend to use our own storage bag as the shape is better fitting for placement in our pack although, we certainly cannot knock any points away from Rab in this department. When it comes to life in the outdoors the included stuff sac is one of the best we have seen, being well built and it has packed the Pro 200 compact for travel. Rab included a storage bag to keep the Pro 200 lofted and in great condition when stored at home. With a Comfort rating of 4☌ and a total weight of just 594 grams the specs suggest this to be a suitable 2/3 season bag for use in the UK. As usual with Rab’s range of sleeping bags the fill is of high quality, ethically sourced, European Goose Down. Hand filled in Derbyshire the Pro 200 packs in 200g of 800 Fill Power Hydrophobic Down. It’s thin, tough, and breathable material which is why Rab have stated the Neutrino Pro 200 to be “perfect for everything from big wall bivi ledges to summer trekking.” With many bivy treks lined up for the coming season we are eager to see how it performs. We are big fans of this material and have found it to work very well on many other products we have used in the past. This is because the Pro version is made using a Pertex Quantum Pro outer fabric which offers better protection in damp conditions when compared to the regular Neutrino 200. This updated Rab Neutrino 200 we received is one of the ‘Pro’ versions. Rab have certainly made a name for themselves for offering high quality sleeping bags with a focus on warmth and weight, matched with a build quality that stands the test of time.
