The Alpine Jacket from Rab is a brilliant softshell that blends wind resistance and weather protection to give a tremendous feeling of comfort, practicality and assurance in a garment. It's great for mountaineering, backpacking, mountain biking and off road running due to its minimal weight and versatile composition. Thanks to the Pertex Equilibrium fabric the Rab Alpine jacket uses capillary action technology to wick moisture efficiently to the outside of the jacket where it can be evapourated from, hence creating a body temperature 'Equilibrium'. This jacket is designed for hard work, it is a hybrid cross between a windproof jacket and an insulated softshell piece, the hood is fully helmet compatible, and the fit is close without restricting your movements.
