An essential mountain focused feature set with updated styling make this a classic waterproof for a technically savvy mountain hiker. Waterproofing is provided by Pertex Shield 2.5 Layer with a recycled face with a fluorocarbon free DWR.
Rab says
Designed with a regular fit, it is built from recycled 2.5L Pertex Shield® fabric. Lighter, softer and more malleable than a three-layer fabric, it offers exceptional comfort, as well as excellent breathability. The helmet-compatible hood with front and rear adjustment can be altered on the move or rolled down and secured in strong winds to prevent flapping. The large zipped A-line pockets are raised to keep clear of your pack straps or harness and a pair of AquaGuard® pit zips enable rapid ventilation.
With a weight of 375g, this is the perfect easy-pack waterproof jacket for outdoor adventure in unreliable weather.
Our Verdict
Rab's Downpour Plus 2.0 Jacket is a lightweight bare essentials jacket.
Pit Zips, Adjustable hem and hood combined with hand pockets that are useable while wearing a hip belt make this a lightweight packable jacket for any adventure.
The one change this jacket has received from it's old iteration is the usage of recycled materials, which is always a step in the right direction.
