RAB VAPOUR-RISE SUMMIT SOFTSHELL JACKET MEN’S

£160, rab.equipment (available in women’s)

Like a halfway house between a hardshell waterproof and an insulating mid-layer, a softshell jacket is ultra-versatile for a range of conditions and activities. One of the best is Rab’s Vapour-Rise Summit, an all-in-one jacket that’s warm at the summit yet comfortable during intense activity thanks to its fast-wicking polyester lining inside a highly breathable Pertex Quantum Air shell. It’s the best of both worlds in one garment.
