The RAB MYTHIC G jacket has excited all of the jury members. Extremely lightweight, and warm and demonstrating a visible shift towards ecodesign principles. Trims and extras are reduced to a necessary minimum resulting in a garment that is effortlessly functional and feels like a cloud. The highlight for the judges was the perfect engineering of the garment with every point being evidently well considered. The high-end pattern-making allows a flattering silhouette for every female body shape with the opportunity for absolute freedom of movement. An example of this is the sleeve construction that adapts to various arm lengths and promotes 360-degree movement. Despite the sample not being the correct size for all the judges, it seemed to fit everyone perfectly. The inner titanium coating combined with stitch-through construction allows perfect chamber alignment for the 1000 fill power down from Europe. The body mapping concept whereby titanium is not used underneath the armpits, wrists and on the inside, the upper part of the hood provides perfect thermoregulation and prevents overheating. Head Judge, Alexa Dehmel said ‘having been head judge for apparel in ISPO award in the female segment and four seasons with #sheisoutdoors, this is one of the most innovative down jackets I have seen so far’. The jury would like to honour the effort the product development team has put into this piece, producing a truly futureproof garment.
Over four decades, we’ve honed our reputation as Masters of Insulation. Now we’ve pushed our limits. Again. Building on R&D we did for our Mythic family, we've combined innovative, streamlined design elements, ultralight 1000FP down, and 7D fabric featuring a PFC-free DWR with groundbreaking TILT to reduce weight by 13%, despite using 10% more down (compared to its predecessor), thus achieving an industry-leading warmth-to-weight ratio for lightweight adventures in unforgiving conditions. Based on a huge amount of testing and refining, TILT has become a familiar technology for us and we know exactly how it helps to boost the performance of a garment. For the Mythic G Jacket, we have aimed to use TILT in the lightest way possible, using the benefit of its exceptional warmth properties without the weight penalty. Body-mapped to boost warmth where you need it and avoid overheating in hot spots, TILT is visibly positioned as the innermost layer of the lining at a fiber level to maintain the natural breathability, comfort, and packability of the fabric. Additionally, strategic positioning of down at key spots helps to improve the warmth of the jacket considerably, whilst at the same time eliminating hot spots.
The Women's Mythic G Jacket is an extremely technical garment for ambitious alpine use, providing outstanding performance and protection for female mountaineers and alpinists in extreme environments. The most important features are: - Body-mapped placement of down to maximise warmth and breathability.- Body-mapped placement of TILT to maximise warmth yet reducing hot spots in specific areas.- Women's specific fit to maximise wear comfort and ensure an ideal range of motion even on demanding climbs and ascents.
