FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The Rab Kangri GORE-TEX Jacket is designed for robust protection against rain and wind, making it ideal for hill walking, trekking, and general outdoor use in wet and challenging conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash using a mild liquid detergent on a warm cycle (40°C), close all zippers and fastenings, and use a second rinse. Tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the DWR finish.

What does GORE-TEX Performance with an ePE membrane mean?

This technology provides a highly waterproof and breathable barrier with enhanced durability, designed for active use in demanding outdoor environments. The ePE membrane is a newer, more sustainable alternative.

Is the jacket insulated?

No, the Kangri GORE-TEX Jacket is a shell jacket. It is designed to be worn over insulating layers, allowing you to adjust your warmth based on conditions.

Can I wear a backpack with this jacket?

Yes, the jacket features backpack-compatible hand pockets, meaning they are positioned to remain accessible even when wearing a backpack with a fastened hip belt.

What is the hydrostatic head (HH) rating?

The jacket has a hydrostatic head rating of 28,000mm, indicating excellent waterproof performance.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket dry and loosely folded. Avoid long-term storage in plastic bags, as this can affect the breathability and fabric over time.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the jacket's surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the DWR. If performance does not improve, apply a new PFC-free DWR treatment spray and tumble dry again.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure zippers are clean from dirt and debris. Gently apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth. Operate the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

This can occur when the internal membrane is blocked by dirt or oils. Wash the jacket thoroughly following the care instructions. Ensure you use a mild liquid detergent and perform the reactivation drying step.

Hood adjustment is not secure.

Check that the drawcords are fully threaded and the toggles are functioning correctly. Ensure no debris is obstructing the drawcord channels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection for diverse weather conditions.
  • Durable construction suitable for rough terrains and extended use.
  • Breathable material with venting options to manage temperature during activity.
  • Functional design with accessible pockets and adjustable features for comfort.
  • Lightweight for its level of protection (391g for size 10).

Cons

  • Regular fit may not be ideal for all body types or layering preferences.
  • May be overkill for casual, light rain protection.
  • Specific care required for GORE-TEX membranes to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no specific setup upon arrival. Ensure all zippers are closed and adjust the hood, hem, and cuffs for a comfortable and secure fit before heading outdoors.

Compatibility:

  • Layering: The regular fit is designed to accommodate mid-layers such as fleece or synthetic insulated jackets. Consider your intended layering strategy when choosing a size.
  • Backpacks: The design prioritizes compatibility with backpacks, with hand pockets positioned to remain accessible when a hip belt is fastened.

Care Instructions:

Proper care is essential to maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX membrane and the jacket's water repellency.

  1. Washing: Machine wash using a mild liquid detergent (avoid powders and fabric softeners). Close all zippers and hook-and-loop fastenings. Wash on a warm cycle (40°C / 104°F) with a second rinse.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low or medium heat for an extended period (around 20 minutes) to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. This step is crucial for restoring water repellency.
  3. Re-Waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, apply a PFC-free DWR treatment spray (follow product instructions). Re-tumble dry on low heat to ensure proper adhesion.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket dry and loosely folded. Avoid storing in plastic bags for extended periods.
