Rab Downpour Light Jacket
Ideal for day hikes and scrambles with an uncertain forecast, the Downpour Light Jacket offers the protection and breathability of our signature Proflex™ technology, in a lightweight, stashable package. Balancing low volume with high comfort even when you’re moving fast or slogging uphill, it’s protective in sudden rain yet light in your pack.
The supple 2.5-layer Proflex™ fabric is quiet and breathable, and has a soft, textured backer which is comfortable next to skin, so you can throw it on over a tee during a fleeting shower. With a streamlined design, it keeps features to a minimum, yet is equipped with everything you need for exploring beyond the treeline in fickle summer weather. The close-fitting hood can be adjusted around your crown and face with a single hand pull, and features a stiffened peak so that drizzle doesn’t restrict your vision. Seal out the elements using the low-profile hook and loop cuff adjustments, while the extended cuffs keep the wind off your hands, and the articulated sleeves allow a full range of arm movement. Access your essentials even when wearing a backpack thanks to the two pack-compatible zipped hand pockets.
Comfortable and packable, the Downpour Light Jacket is your new staple shell for any mountain day with unpredictable weather.

Love this so much. I
Love this so much. I was hesitant to spend so much on a rain jacket but needed something for multi day hikes that would stand up to the possibility of rain for hours. Love the feel and quality of this.
