Description
The Rab Kinetic 2.0 Jacket redefines the traditional concept of a waterproof mountain jacket by combining the protection of a waterproof membrane with the stretch and comfort of a softshell garment. Designed for dynamic mountain activities, it allows for a high level of mobility and comfort even during prolonged exertion.
Thanks to the use of 3-layer Proflex™ waterproof stretch fabric technology, this jacket offers a balanced combination of waterproofing, breathability, and stretch. The fabric adapts to the body's natural movement, reducing the stiff feeling typical of many traditional waterproof jackets.
Real Technical Performance
The core of the Kinetic 2.0 Jacket's performance is the Proflex™ fabric, a three-layer construction developed by Rab to offer waterproofing and breathability with superior stretch to most traditional hardshells.
- Stretchy outer fabric for freedom of movement
- Highly breathable waterproof membrane
- Soft interior that improves moisture management
