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 ...

First test: Rab Neo Stretch jacket

£250.00

So NeoShell is designed to be waterproof and breathable like a hard shell, while maintaining the stretch and comfort of a soft shell. Polartec NeoShell does have some stretch in it, ...

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, ...

Rab Latok 2010

£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 Momentum 2010

£175.00

While most jackets have gone up in price, the Rab Momentum sticks at £175 and now comes in a women’s version too; what’s not to like?! The Momentum is made from eVent fabric, so it is top of the league for waterproofness and breathability. Feature-wise you get the basics of a front zip for venting and a good length in ...

Rab Bergen/Vidda 2009

£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 Vidda

£180.00

The high collar worked brilliantly in bad weather, but would have been better if it was fleece-lined. Will keep you totally dry and the eVENT fabric was very breathable. The large handwarmer pockets were really useful and easy to reach with a rucksack on.

Rab Summit

£200.00

The Summit is in a league above most other duvet jackets. It packs 250g of down insulation into a box wall construction for ultimate efficiency, minimal cold spots and oodles of insulation.

Rab Ghost

£80.00

This fleece mid layer makes use of Polartec Wind Pro stretch fabric, which has a little more wind resistance than more open-knit fabrics, so you don’t have to don a windproof quite as often. It also feels a little more durable and a little warmer than some other mid layers. Yet it is still very breathable, making it ideal for ...

Rab Drillium

£160.00

This lightweight waterproof jacket from Rab is a little tighter than some, and also a shorter cut than most, which will appeal to some more than others. But it proves very comfortable on the hill, with a nicely fitting hood. While the eVENT fabric is noticeably breathable, it really needs some venting. It’s got a great hood though, with a ...

Rab Vidda

£180.00

The very lightweight jacket from Rab has a pleasant, technical look. The fit and length of the arms and body are good, and the deep, adjustable hood excellent. It’s very roomy in the chest, which will be perfect for some women. Although simply styled, the attention to detail is very apparent. The cuffs and hem are fully adjustable, the hood ...
