Rab Latok Alpine Jacket - Men's
Great Jacket

Ranked #672 - Men's Technical Shells
January 25, 2011
I spent months looking around for and researching jackets online and after debating between the Patagonia Stretch Alpine and the Rab I decided on the Rab.
I've been out a few times with it so far, mostly skiing with some backpacking and have been impressed. I'm 6' 135 lbs and the medium fits well with room for layers. I probably could have gotten away with the small.
The hood is excellent, not big enough for a ski helmet but it'll work great for any climbing helmet. I haven't found myself wishing for pit zips yet either. Haven't had any rain yet but it has performed great in wet snow.
