Product Information

Full details

The Rab Downpour Jacket is designed for hikers, travelers, and anyone who needs reliable protection from the rain. This jacket is ideal for adults seeking a waterproof and breathable outer layer for outdoor activities. The key benefit is its excellent waterproof and breathable performance due to the 2.5-layer Pertex Shield fabric. One thing to consider is that while it is packable, it may not be the most lightweight option compared to some ultralight rain jackets. Key features include a comfortable fit, underarm ventilation, and a fully adjustable hood.

FAQs

What is the Pertex Shield fabric?

Pertex Shield is a 2.5-layer fabric that offers excellent waterproof and breathable protection, making it ideal for outdoor activities.

Is the jacket suitable for cold weather?

The jacket provides good protection but is designed primarily for rain and wind. For cold weather, layer appropriately with insulated garments.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash the jacket in warm water (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Line dry or tumble dry on a low setting.

What is the warranty?

Warranty information is not available in the product description. Check Rab's website or contact customer service for details.

Can I iron the jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the fabric. Line dry or tumble dry on a low setting.

How packable is the jacket?

The Downpour jacket is designed to be packable. It can be easily stored in a backpack when not in use, taking up minimal space.

What are the benefits of the adjustable hood?

The adjustable hood with a stiff peak provides excellent weather protection, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal coverage from rain and wind.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The hand pockets are zippered and include storm guards, offering protection from the elements, but not necessarily fully waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the jacket.

Check the DWR coating. If water is no longer beading off the fabric, re-apply a DWR treatment. Inspect the seams for any damage.

Zippers are sticking.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper wax or a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Adjust the hood using the cord locks to ensure a snug fit.

Underarm ventilation is not working effectively.

Ensure the zippers for the underarm vents are fully open. Make sure there is no blockage.
