When the shower passes, you can compress the jacket back into your daypack, freeing space for water and snacks on your next leg. The anthracite color complements other Rab gear for both trail and post-hike errands, keeping you practical and ready for changing plans.

Designed for regular use, this jacket pairs well with Rab’s layering system and is built to withstand damp days without restricting your pace. The regular fit with articulated sleeves supports full-range motion across varied terrain and activities, while the 2.5-layer construction makes it easy to store and re-wear as weather evolves.
