Rab Kinetic Alpine Stretch Jacket
The Kinetic Alpine Stretch Jacket from Rab is the ideal companion for anyone who enjoys spending time in the mountains, whether hiking, climbing, skiing, or ski touring. This men’s jacket stands out thanks to its three-layer Pertex® Shield fabric, which is not only waterproof but also windproof, offering reliable protection from the elements. The regular fit and four-way stretch fabric guarantee maximum freedom of movement, which is especially beneficial on challenging tours.
Another highlight of the jacket is the adjustable hood, which fits easily over a climbing or ski helmet and features a stiff brim that follows every head movement. The integrated RECCO® reflector provides additional safety by improving detectability in an emergency. Practical two-way zippers under the armpits allow for quick ventilation when things get intense.
With a water column rating of 30,000 mm and a breathability rating of 25,000 g/m²/24 hrs, the jacket keeps you dry and comfortable even in extreme conditions. The jacket features a large chest pocket that’s easily accessible even when wearing a climbing harness, as well as an inside pocket, a secure zippered pocket, and a ski pass pocket on the upper arm, providing ample storage space for all your essentials. Adjustable cuffs and a adjustable hem round out the well-thought-out design and provide additional protection from wind and weather.
