FAQs
What is Proflex fabric?
Proflex is a 2.5-layer fabric that provides waterproof protection and breathability. It also has a soft, comfortable feel next to the skin.
Is the jacket suitable for winter use?
The Downpour Light Jacket is designed for milder conditions. It is not ideal for extreme cold. You may want to consider other Rab jackets if you are looking for winter protection.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash with a gentle cycle, using a technical garment cleaner. Avoid fabric softener and tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The hand pockets are zipped and designed to be pack-compatible, offering a degree of water resistance, but they are not fully waterproof.
What is the warranty on the jacket?
Warranty information is not available in the provided product details.
What size should I order?

Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is adjustable around the crown and face with a single-hand pull.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Check the jacket's seams and zippers for any damage. Ensure the jacket has been properly cleaned and re-proofed, if needed, using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
The hood doesn't stay in place.
Adjust the hood using the single-hand pull cord to ensure a snug fit around your head and face.
Zippers are sticking.
