Rab Valiance Jacket

Men's jacket made of waterproof Pertex® fabric with an adjustable hood for optimal protection against wind and weather.

The Valiance Jacket by Rab is the ideal companion for men who enjoy hiking, exploring nature, or simply looking for reliable protection in everyday life. This jacket stands out thanks to its durable Pertex® Shield fabric, which is both windproof and waterproof, with an impressive water column rating of 20,000 mm. The breathable construction also ensures you won’t break a sweat during physical activity. The jacket features synthetic insulation that, together with the close-fitting collar, traps heat effectively.
A special highlight of this jacket is the adjustable hood, which can be customized to provide optimal protection even in changeable weather. The two front slip pockets not only offer space for your essentials, but also keep cold hands nice and warm. An internal zippered pocket provides added security by keeping valuables safely stored.
The Valiance Jacket features a regular fit and offers a high level of comfort thanks to its soft, elastic inner cuffs and the hem, which is adjustable on both sides. The VISLON® AquaGuard® front zipper with an insulated cover provides additional protection against moisture penetration. With a back length of 81.5 cm in size M, the jacket is long enough to offer optimal protection even in wind and weather.

Our tip

SportFits advice

Rab Valiance Jacket

Waterproof for winter days

Down and synthetic | 700 FP down; synthetic insulation in the collar | 700 cuin | 205 g (size M)

The essentials

A good fit if you’re looking for an insulated and waterproof jacket for winter hikes
A good fit if you want to wear additional layers under the longer-cut jacket
Less so if you want to avoid down: only the insulated collar is filled with synthetic insulation

What is it for?

Our take

For wet winter hikes and cold everyday days, the Valiance combines a waterproof shell with down and a synthetically insulated collar. The longer Regular cut is designed to be worn over additional layers, while the close-fitting inner cuffs keep out draughts.
