The Scimitar jacket is Rab's super tough and durable softshell that is idea jacket to take a lot of abuse but to keep on performing, making it a long lasting companion for anything you can throw at it.
Rab says:
Tough, durable Matrix™ softshell jacket, with reinforcement in high wear areas. Offering great mobility, weather protection and essential breathability, it has an adjustable hood with stiff peak, ideal for hiking, scrambling and mountaineering.
Our Verdict
Rab's Scimatar jacket uses Matrix Softshell fabric to provide a jacket that is both tough and stretchy allowing for great performance while scrambling, mountaineering or just general day to day wear.
The softshell is DWR treated, but is more of a dry weather outer layer for use on days where the weather is nice but there is a bit of a chill, or as a mid-layer when you require maximum movement.
fit wise it is on the roomier side if you are slighter of frame, but with a layer underneath and a bit of adjustment it fit well, but would be a good fit the average to bigger build with a base layer or micro fleece.
