FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

The Rab Firewall Mountain Jacket is ideal for hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and general all-weather mountain use throughout the year.

What is the primary material used in this jacket?

The jacket is made from a 3-layer Pertex® Shield fabric, known for its waterproof and breathable properties.

How do I clean and maintain the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent and rinse well. Tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the DWR. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

Is the hood adjustable to fit over a helmet?

Yes, the hood is fully adjustable and designed to be helmet-compatible, featuring a protective peak.

What are the pocket specifications?

The jacket includes two hand pockets and one chest pocket, all positioned for accessibility when wearing a harness or pack.

What is the hydrostatic head and breathability rating?

The jacket has a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm and a breathability (MVTR) rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hrs.

Does this jacket use any PFAS chemicals?

No, the main fabric features a PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent) coating.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the fabric surface.

The DWR coating may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no dirt or debris is present. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.

Ensure pit zips are open for ventilation. Check that internal clothing layers are also breathable. The jacket may require cleaning to remove accumulated body oils and dirt that can impede breathability.

Hood adjustment is difficult.

Ensure all drawcords are fully extended before attempting to adjust. Check for any obstructions around the adjustment points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for all-weather protection.
Durable yet lightweight construction for comfort during long activities.
Designed for mobility with articulated sleeves and a fit that accommodates movement.
Thoughtful features like helmet-compatible hood and accessible pockets enhance usability in the mountains.
Effective ventilation options through pit zips.

Cons

Regular fit may require careful consideration for layering strategies.
While durable, the material may not withstand extreme abrasion from rough rock.
Limited to one chest pocket for storage, alongside two hand pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed for immediate use. Ensure all zips are fully closed and adjust the hood, cuffs, and hem for a secure fit before heading out. The Firewall Mountain Jacket is compatible with standard hiking and climbing gear. For care, it is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild liquid detergent, and rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls to help re-activate the DWR (durable water repellent) coating. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance. Re-proof with a suitable DWR treatment when water no longer beads on the surface. Store in a clean, dry place.
