The rab microlight alpine jacket features an impressive level of hydrophobic down which is specially treated to repel water like magic.
Rab rain jacket review.
It s a jacket that s not completely unlike a down sleeping bag with arms on each side.
Our range of men s waterproof jackets and rain jackets is designed to keep the worst weather at bay.
And it doesn t give you that puffed up look like so many similar down jackets.
With its lightweight features all day protection and peerless packability the phantom pull on is the ultimate stash and forget waterproof shell for stripped back mountain runners.
Made with pertex shield 2 5 layer fabric with dry touch this jacket comes with all the essential features for comfort and practicality including pit zips adjustable hood and cuffs as well as zippered pockets with storm flaps.
From the very early days of rab our founder rab carrington was an advocate of new fabric technologies and continually searching for new fabrics to make more packable and lightweight waterproof jackets while making sure they remain functional for mountain environments.
Over the last four or so years rab has been on top of the technical fabric world churning out shell after category smashing shell.
After decades crafting clothing for mountaineers and alpinists khroma is rab s dedicated ski specific range.
It s a great option for most backpackers hikers climbers and trail runners who are likely to carry their rain jacket in their pack the majority of the time.
It fit better than most jackets we tried offering fantastic freedom of movement combined with the ability to layer over or underneath it.
It is heavier than some competition but is built for the wet and truly cold parts of this world.
The rab downpour is a thin raincoat made of 100 polyamide with polyurethane laminate on ripstop fabric with fully taped seams.
The rab microlight alpine is one of the very best down hoodies in our review combining superior water resistance features with notable warmth in a relatively light package.
It has two hand pockets that are located a little higher up for a backpack waist belt and packs into its own left pocket though it s a pretty tight squeeze.
Rugged protective and reliable khroma is for those who love the up as much as the down.
