RAB Jackets

[RememberYourZen]

Anyone had any experience with 'em?

they are quite common over here in yurp, most of them are more lightweight then durable, but nice made event-jackets...
no skiing-specific stuff imho...

I'm looking for a warm, waterproof jacket to go over my fleece when I backpack/hike/camp...should I look elsewhere? Any suggestions?

crux would be the other option if you're looking for eVent stuff from euro labels. rab is great tho, nice slim cuts, good workmanship.

I actually just heard about Rab jackets last night and was looking for more info because they look very nice. Are they comparable to arc'teryx? That's the other jacket I'm looking at.

not quite i'd say, but not too far off. nicest jacket in my view is the latok alpine (simple and clean with a great hood).

That's the one I'm looking at right now. The new one on their website is awesome looking. I'm not sure what size fits me though so I'm a little hesitant to buy online.
