Rab Namche GTX Jacket
Men's jacket with Gore-Tex® for optimal protection during outdoor activities; windproof and waterproof with an adjustable hood.
The Namche GTX jacket from Rab is the ideal choice for men who don’t want to compromise on comfort and protection during their outdoor adventures. This jacket is perfect for activities such as hiking, trekking, and everyday wear. Made from high-quality Gore-Tex® fabric, the jacket offers an impressive water column rating of 28,000 mm, keeping you reliably dry even in heavy rain. The windproof construction protects against cold gusts and ensures you stay comfortable in any weather.
A particular highlight is the adjustable hood with a stiffened, wire-reinforced peak that offers additional protection from the elements. The pre-shaped sleeves allow for unrestricted freedom of movement, which is especially beneficial when using hiking poles. A full-zip YKK® AquaGuard® zipper with a fleece-lined chin guard rounds out the design and provides additional comfort.
Practical details such as the two outer slip pockets with YKK® AquaGuard® zippers and an inner security pocket provide ample storage space for essential items. The adjustable hem and Velcro cuffs allow for a custom fit. Ventilation slits in the underarm area provide additional airflow, allowing you to cool down quickly during strenuous activities.
