Rab Wandeljas Latok Mountain GTX

This is the jacket. For a rain jacket, this is one of best you are going to find. This is my go to, I’ve taken it on dozens of backpacking trips, I own two of them. Including this one from this year. I’ve been caught in heavy rainstorms, having a good rain jacket is invaluable. I trust this thing completely, it will keep you completely dry no matter what. When it’s 40 degrees outside raining hard, this is the jacket I want. Breathability. This is one of the most breathable jackets you can find, top of its class. 3L Goretex is expensive but there just is no substitute out there right now. Massive vents under the arms. It’s rugged and breathable. It’s a good value for what it is vs. other comparable jackets from other brands. The combination of breathability, reliability, ruggedness, dependability are what make this jacket great.

Product was not the same color as advertised. Shell material seems darker and zipper pulls and chest lettering are gray instead of light blue.

This is a premium hard shell that is well suited to general hill and mountain use throughout the year, thanks to a full complement of walker-friendly features and zoned fabrics that balance outright protection with breathability. It uses a combination of 3L Gore-Tex Pro Most Breathable fabrics in rugged 80-denier and lighter 40-denier weights.

The colour on the website is very inaccurate. It looks like a mustard colour online but is in fact orange. It is a really lovely colour so this was a pleasant surprise when it arrived and I am very happy with it.

Good Points: Quality and design are first class Improvement Points: It’s expensive but you pay for what you get!
