Kinetic Alpine Stretch Jacket - Men's

The Rab Kinetic Alpine Stretch jacket uses a four-way stretch Pertex Shield Air fabric rated to a 30,000mm hydrostatic head, well above what a traditional rigid hardshell typically delivers, without giving up the mobility that stretch fabric is known for. High sleeve articulation lets an arm reach fully overhead on a climb or a reach for a hold, rather than pulling tight across the shoulders. Two chest pockets sit clear of a climbing harness, and a helmet-compatible hood adjusts to fit over either a climbing or ski helmet.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reached overhead for a hold in steady rain and never felt the jacket pull or let water in at the shoulder seam, the stretch moved with me instead of fighting the reach. That's the first shell I've climbed in where I stopped thinking about the jacket at all."
