description Rab Kinetic 2.0 Overview

The Rab Kinetic 2.0 blurs the line between a softshell and a hardshell. It uses a unique Proflex fabric that is incredibly soft and stretchy, providing the comfort of a fleece with the weather protection of a rain jacket. It is exceptionally breathable, making it the best choice for high-intensity hiking in cool, damp conditions. While it isn't fully waterproof in a torrential downpour, it handles light rain and wind with ease, making it a favorite for active hikers who hate the 'plastic bag' feel of traditional shells.
