Rab Downpour Light Men's Waterproof Jacket

Product detailed description

Together with Rab's best-selling down jacket Microlight Alpine, the waterproof jacket Downpour plus 2.0—arguably the most effective combo in terms of price-to-performance ratio in our lineup. And as true ultralight enthusiasts, we can’t hide our excitement that the guys and girls at Rab have prepared a lightweight version of this hardshell jacket for us this season—the Rab Downpour Light.

Rab Downpour Light

Rab used its own Proflex membrane in a 2.5-layer version with 20D (fiber denier) and a weight of 72 g/m². Thanks to this material, the jacket offers standard waterproofing/breathability ratings of 20/20 while maintaining a low weight (219 grams in size M). Add to that excellent packability and a very reasonable price tag, and we have a contender for waterproof jacket of the year. In the lightweight version, you’ll find everything you’ve come to expect from the time-tested Rab Downpour. A sufficiently large hood with an elastic peak. It easily accommodates a climbing helmet, but thanks to its clever drawcord system, it works great even for everyday use without a helmet.

The full-length central zipper is, of course, YKK, as are the zippers on the two hand pockets. The pockets are also really large, and, for example, ski mountaineering enthusiasts can easily stuff their climbing skins into them. Other enthusiasts can fit whatever else they need to have on hand :) There are also other features you’ve come to expect from Rab. Extended sleeve cuffs and a lightweight anti-slip treatment on the back hem. The back panel is 74 cm long in size M, and the bottom hem of the jacket is adjustable on one side. The jacket’s cut is on the looser side (Regular Fit) and provides plenty of room for additional layers. The Rab Downpour Light is a lightweight all-rounder that handles a wide range of activities, from laid-back day trips to high-altitude hiking, climbing, or ski mountaineering.
