What is the Torque Jacket?
The Torque Jacket is a hooded softshell jacket designed with technical mountain users in mind. This functional jacket is packed with specialised features to support you through challenging expeditions yet remains one of the lightest softshell jackets in Rab’s range.
What is it made from?
A combination of Rab's signature Matrix™ fabrics are used to construct the Torque Jacket. Matrix™ fabrics are softshell materials with a high level of (30+) UPF UV protection and weather-resistant properties. Using Matrix™ stretch double weave on the outer shell allows added manoeuvrability, whilst durable Ripstop Matrix™ double weave reinforcement panels offer extra protection from rough surfaces, ideal for tackling steep inclines or hitting the rocks with some outdoor climbing.
What are its features?
Starting from the top: the fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood is great for mountaineers and climbers, with concealed front cordlocks and a stiffened peak for when the weather turns a little nasty. This jacket has a two-way opening YKK® VISLON front zip with an internal storm flap for added protection from wet, windy weather. A zippered chest pocket is ideal for storing your phone or keys, whilst two zippered hand pockets offer extra storage for small essentials like your headphones and snacks.The cuffs are fitted with an anti-snag hook and loop adjustment with extended knuckle protection, allowing a closer fit to the wrist and additional coverage over the hands. The drawcord hem is fully adjustable if you want to tighten the jacket's fit or tuck it in during breezy spells.
How does it fit?
This jacket comes in a regular fit, which allows you to layer up underneath.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
The Torque Jacket works great as a sturdy, flexible outer layer with moderate weather protection and excellent mobility.
