I think the problem stems from the fact that the drop tail is a very dramatic swoop down compared to the rest of them when you tighten up the drop hem, the drop tail likes to draw upwards to ride annoyingly high on your rear.

That’s fine, but I found that the drop tail would never stay put when I adjusted the hem. I’m 5’11”, 180lbs and the size Medium I tested fits closely throughout the torso. My only substantial qualm with the vest is its fit. The Pertex Quantum isn’t water resistant but it does block wind and feather leakage well. The hydrophobic down is a great touch for this piece I frequently wear vests on aerobic trips in the cold weather so it’s wonderful that the down will keep its loft even as I start to sweat. Rab designed the Neutrino to be particularly warm it’s stuffed with poof 800-fill hydrophobic down and features a hung liner on the front of the jacket to boost warmth. The arm holes are lightly elasticized, but I felt as if they could be more comfortable since they tended to dig into my armpits a tad. The zippers pull easily, but remember that Rab’s an English brand so the zipper is on the opposite side from what US climbers are used to. Rab chose to line the front of the pockets with a soft fleece, making them warm and cozy on cold days. The Neutrino is built with quite large baffles, an insulated internal zipper baffle, two zippered hand pockets, one interior security pocket and a lovely fleecy chin guard. I’ve tested the Neutrino in the dry, sparkling frigidity of Nevada’s high desert, wet snowshoeing near Pend Oreille and some solid pow days around the Inland Northwest. The Rab Neutrino is a class mountain vest with big baffles, a straightforward design and warmth to spare.
