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
The mountain-focused design includes recycled 2.5L Pertex Shield® fabric, which is light, soft and highly breathable for outstanding comfort when working hard in the hills. The regular cut with articulated arms is ideal for easy movement and the AquaGuard® pit zips enable you to add extra ventilation when the pace increases. The helmet-compatible hood features a flexible polymer peak and dual adjustment for optimised protection, as well as an anti-snag tab that enables you to roll it down and secure it when the wind gets up.
With a soft fleece-lined chin guard, this is the easy way to stay dry and comfortable during wet weather escapes.
Our Verdict
Rab's Womens 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.
