Rab Double Pile (2012)

£60.00

A heavy fleece and therefore very warm. Double-pile fabric really traps the heat in. That also makes it bulky, however, and this certainly isn’t the kind of garment to tuck away in your pack for emergency use. Although it may not look like it, the face fabric has a water-repellent treatment which means that you can wear the top in ...

Rab Traverse

£50.00

Fabulously lightweight and stretchy trousers that will be a favourite in any walker’s wardrobe. There’s no DWR on the fabric, but if they do get wet, they’ll dry incredibly quickly, and they’re superbly breathable too. They’re wonderfully easy to walk in, with a diamond crotch gusset for really easy movement, and the soft, lightweight fabric feels great against the skin. ...

Rab Infinity

£150.00

This jacket uses man-made Primaloft One insulation instead of any natural down filling, with the immediate result being that it is not as warm as down equivalents. For general use it’s fine, although you will want to keep moving when it’s truly perishing. The thinner grade of insulation also makes it more versatile and useful for a wider range of ...

Rab Infinity 2011

£200.00

Use of the new Pertex 10 denier Quantum fabric ensures that the Rab Infinity is very light indeed. At 484g it is not the lightest jacket, but it provides more insulation, so it is usable at lower temperatures. It uses top-quality down too, which keeps the weight down further. The Infinity hood surprisingly comes without any volume adjuster or drawcords, ...

£275.00

The Latok is a well-proven classic from Rab that is now also available for women. It is made from eVent, which is a well-proven top-performance fabric. The Latok is designed very much as a mountaineering jacket, so you get a slightly shorter body than some others. There are four pockets on the chest and these can all be easily accessed ...

Rab Dihedral Pant

£70.00

Good-looking yet practical walking trousers with few faults. The fabric looks casual – almost cotton-like – but it’s actually stretchy, making for really easy movement. The cut’s good too, and the waist has elastic panels, belt loops and a webbing belt. The knees, seat and inner ankles are reinforced, which is very practical, as at £70, you want them to ...

Rab LS AEON Tee base layer

£25.00

A lightweight top and therefore not as warm as most, but as a dedicated base-layer it’s absolutely superb, being easy to move in, courtesy of ultra-stretchy fabric, and lovely and soft against the skin. It wicked brilliantly and dried in seconds, but it did pong after a couple of wears. An excellent component of a layering system and at a ...

Rab Momentum 2009

£175.00

The Rab Momentum jacket is a remarkable price for the features and weight on offer. Firstly at 356g (size L) it is light enough to stash in a pack on dry days. But more importantly when the rain comes the eVent fabric is well-proven to provide excellent performance in terms of waterproofness and condensation control. The jacket is fully featured ...

£200.00

A well-proven performer and frequent Trail favourite, the Rab Bergen/Vidda general-purpose jacket is made from eVent fabric, which offers extremely high levels of waterproofness and breathability. The jacket is shorter than some, which may be preferred by scramblers for example. The front zip gets an external stormflap and the pockets are sealed on the inside to prevent leaks. The pockets ...

RAB LATOK

£250.00

Review: Good length sleeves, a snug high collar and an excellent hood that really kept some awful weather out. It’s short at the hem, and the eVENT fabric, which breathed superbly, is a little stiff and rustly in comparison to some. It has superb, well-placed pockets, including two that will hold a map, and we liked the lengthy pit-zips, although ...

Like a number of jackets here this soft shell is made from Polartec Power Shield fabric, which offers very high levels of wind and water resistance, while maintaining a higher level of breathability than more waterproof fabrics.

These warm trousers from Rab are light and soft against the skin – you’ll almost forgot you’re wearing them! The elasticated waist, which is backed up with belt loops, is great, but they are a little baggy. Warm trousers that will keep a short shower or a bit of drizzle at bay and remain comfortable even when they do wet ...

This winter jacket is made from eVent fabric, so breathability and waterproofness are as good as it gets. Better still, the fabric feels a little stiffer than some, so it should be more able to trap warm air around the body in a howling winter storm.  The hood can be rolled down and secured, and when worn it benefits from ...
