This versatile softshell jacket is designed for adult women engaging in activities like running, ski touring, and climbing in cold, windy conditions. Its key benefit is providing excellent wind- and water-resistance with a stretchy, breathable fabric for full mobility.

Key features include Rab’s Matrix Softshell fabric, a low-profile hood, and essential mountain-ready details for a streamlined fit.

Yes, the hood is designed with a low profile to fit snugly under climbing and skiing helmets.
Wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or air dry. Reapply DWR treatment as needed.
The jacket weighs approximately 250g for a size 10.
No, it offers wind- and water-resistance due to its softshell construction and DWR finish, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended.
The slim fit is intentional for mobility. If a looser feel is desired, consider sizing up or reviewing the product's fit guide for alternative models.
