Rab Latok Jacket - Men's
Available Colors / Styles
'Comfortable' is a relative term�especially above 6000 meters. Designed for brutal expeditions above treeline, winter alpinism, and those with a hankerin' for punishment, the Rab Men�s Latok Jacket features eVent waterproof breathable fabric to withstand the coming storm and keep you as 'comfortable' as possible given the circumstances.
- Three-layer eVent fabric combines waterproof technology and industry-leading breathability to keep you dry and comfortable in extreme weather condition
- Two chest and two interior pockets hold energy gels, sunscreen, lip balm, a radio and other mountaineering essentials
- Underarm vents lend airflow and increase evaporation when you work up a sweat
- Helmet-compatible hood features a wired brim to keep your field of view clear
- Waterproof YKK zippers keep your mobile device dry and sandwiches less soggy
- Reflective accents help keep you visible to your partners during alpine starts and white-out conditions
Bottom Line: Epic protection worthy of the worst climbing conditions.

caveat, this is a new purchase from Backcountry and has only, so far, been worn on a few windy afternoons. A word on sizing - this jacket runs true to size if you like a relatively narrow fit. if you plan to do any significant layering underneath, you might consider buying a size larger than you ordinarily would. i sized up and was pleased with the fit.
top to bottom, a great jacket. it's a full-featured heavyweight that might not appeal to the minimalist - i'm guessing it weighs about 24 ounces, where a minimalist hard shell might be 13-15 ounces. it's easy to adjust the hood, and i like having a wire in the brim. if you want to roll up the hood and keep it out of the way, it has one of the best hood-roll flaps i have seen. with the extra weight come more details. four very usable outer pockets, two inside mesh pockets, one zippered, the other for a water bottle. It also has zippered armpit vents, which i like, but my experience with eVent is that one need not vent as much. the front zipper is backed by a flap, and all the zippers are water resistant. tightening the waist-level elastic cord was initially confusing, the pull tab and cordlock is inside and at the back of the larger outer pockets.
this jacket makes me look forward to bad weather.
