What is the Downpour Trail Light Jacket?
It's a lightweight, soft, and highly packable waterproof shell jacket designed to keep you comfortable and protected when trail running, hiking and fastpacking when the weather’s not playing ball.
What is it made from?
The Downpour Trail Light Jacket uses a 2.5 layer Pertex® Shield construction, which is a highly breathable, waterproof material designed for use in the mountains when protection, weight and breathability are key. This 2.5 layer construction combines a lightweight 20D face fabric and a waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane with a smooth backer for excellent protection and comfort levels. The face fabric is finished with a PFC-Free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage rain to bead off the jacket instead of soaking in, without the use of harmful forever chemicals.
Pertex® Shield delivers a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm and a breathability MVTR score of 20,000 g/m2/24hrs, meaning it offers great waterproof protection and breathability, making it a great choice for various outdoor activities in wet weather.
What are its features?
This jacket's feature set has been streamlined to keep its weight and bulk to a minimum. It does, however, feature a semi-elasticated hood with a stiffened peak to protect you during downpours and help keep rain away from your face when you're moving fast. The hood can be adjusted at the rear for a secure fit in windy conditions.
A two-way YKK® AquaGuard® front zip with a chin guard allows easy use with a climbing harness and can be unzipped from the top or bottom to provide better mobility through the hips for steep ascents.
For storage, there is a single YKK® AquaGuard® zipped chest pocket that's roomy enough for your essentials and allows quick access on the go. The pocket also doubles as an integrated stuff sack, allowing the jacket to take up minimal space in your backpack or running vest when not in use.
Comfortable, low-bulk semi-elasticated and extended cuffs provide good coverage across the wrists and hands to make sure you stay protected even when reaching up or stretching.
A single-side rear hem adjustment with an anti-snag tether allows you to further seal out the elements and stop the jacket from riding up when wearing a backpack. The jacket is finished with a reflective Rab logo for added visibility to other road users in low light.
