Rab Women's Namche GORE-TEX Waterproof Jacket in Purple

The Rab Women's Namche GORE-TEX Waterproof Jacket is a technical shell jacket designed for hiking and general outdoor use in changeable conditions. Constructed from 75D 3-layer GORE-TEX fabric with ePE waterproof technology, it provides reliable protection against wind and rain while maintaining breathability to manage perspiration during activity. The jacket features a PFCec-free durable water repellent (DWR) treatment on recycled backer fabric, contributing to a more sustainable construction without compromising performance. Key functional elements include an adjustable stiff-peak hood for shelter, YKK® AquaGuard® centre front zip with a fleece-lined chin guard for comfort, and underarm pit zips for rapid heat dumping. The fit is personalised via an adjustable hem and hook-and-loop cuff adjustments, while articulated sleeves enhance freedom of movement. Two zipped hand pockets offer secure storage for essentials. Notably lightweight at approximately 387 grams for a UK size 10, the jacket is also highly packable, making it easy to stow in a backpack when not in use. This jacket is ideally suited for hill walkers, hikers, and anyone needing a dependable, all-round waterproof layer for daily wear or outdoor adventures. Its regular fit and clean design balance technical performance with everyday practicality, serving as a versatile go-to shell for unpredictable British weather. The combination of high hydrostatic head (28,000mm) and good breathability (RET <13) ensures comfort across a range of activities from casual use to more demanding mountain environments.
