The construction of these waterproof jackets determines their ideal application. A 3-layer build offers maximum protection for harsh alpine conditions, while lighter 2.5-layer options are highly packable and suited for fast-moving activities where weight is a primary concern. A versatile 2-layer construction provides great utility for general hiking and everyday use.
Functionality is built into every detail. Features like fully taped seams, YKK® AquaGuard® zips, and adjustable hoods work together to seal out the weather. For activities requiring a full range of movement, select models incorporate stretch fabrics that move with you. Whether you need an ultralight shell for a trail run or a burly hardshell for a winter climb, Rab offers a waterproof jacket specified for your objective.
