Much warmer, I'd guess, though I've only seen the Jannu, never actually used it. The other part is that it is simply a warmer jacket. Part of that is because it is a slightly longer jacket than the Neutrino Plus. There is a lot more insulation in the Jannu (400g of 750 fill power goose down compared to 275g of 800 fp goose down). The Neutrino Plus and the Jannu are great options, though the Jannu is a really big, extremely warm jacket. I'm not sure how cold it is where you are, so it's hard (impossible really) for me to guess which jacket might be the better fit for your circumstances, but I'll try anyway. It hasn't changed much over the last four years, but even now I consider it to be one of the best medium-weight down jackets on the market and an incredible jacket for mountaineering and alpine climbing. I drooled over that jacket for a few years until I finally got one of my own. When I picked it up it felt about half the weight of the subzero. It was beautiful! It packed down about half the size of the MHW. It was the Rab Neutrino Endurance Jacket. It was super warm, packed down relatively small, and had all the features I thought I wanted in a down jacket. I thought this jacket was sweet (it is a good jacket, despite its weight). I pulled out my Mountain Hardwear Subzero SL Jacket. Phil has always been an extremely strong hiker so he didn't seem to struggle much.Īnyway, we got into camp, pulled out our down jackets, and started getting ready for dinner and bed. Needless to say, the skin into King's Peak just about killed me. While there I didn't have the chance to climb, hike, ski, etc., so I wasn't in very good shape not to mention I had been living at or below sea level that whole time. A couple weeks earlier I had just returned from living in The Netherlands and Belgium for a couple years. We drove in as close as we could to the trailhead early in the morning put our boots, skis, and packs on and started the 12 miles skin in toward King's peak. Phil let me borrow his Rab Neutrino because I didn't have one yet.Ībout 4 years ago, I went on a backcountry skiing trip with Phil in the Uinta Mountains of Utah. On the NW Couloir Route of the Middle Teton in late October 2010.
