What must always be packed? That's right, a rain jacket. The Downpour Light Jacket Men from Rab strikes a balance between packable lightness and reliable weather protection - which is no easy feat. Fortunately, the outdoor specialists from England have been creating clothing and equipment for the great outdoors for quite some time. Designed for day hikes and everyday showers, it can also withstand the occasional trekking adventure. The jacket packs down small, taking up minimal space in your backpack, making it a perfect fit even for the most compact luggage. The outer material is 20D Proflex™, a woven 2.5-layer laminate with lightweight stretch and fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment. The Downpour Light Jacket achieves its minimal weight by focusing on the essentials: a simple yet well-adjustable hood with a reinforced brim, two side pockets, a drawstring at the hem, and that's it. That's all you need for it to serve as an emergency rain jacket or a lightweight summer shell.
