Loving my new Rab rain proof coat- great colour
Reliable GORE-TEX protection with a lighter footprint. The Namche is built with 100% recycled fabric with a solution dyed backer (reducing energy and water used in production).
We’re always looking for ways to make our products more sustainable and so the Namche uses 100% recycled, 3-layer GORE-TEX with a solution dyed backer fabric. This process uses less energy and consumes less water than traditional fabric dying methods without sacrificing the quality or performance.
Ideal for navigating forest trails, hillwalking, and mountain hikes, it’s a versatile everyday waterproof offering premium waterproof performance and breathability. The final step in your layering system it controls your microclimate by pulling moisture to the outside, while deflecting rain, wind, and snow with ease.
Move easily and freely with articulated sleeves and a hood optimised for head movement and visibility. With its protective stiff peak and two-way adjustment, you can cinch it in to seal out the worst of the weather. Deep front pockets swallow up maps, gloves, and other essentials within easy reach and you can dump heat quickly when the climb gets steeper with underarm venting.

Loving my new Rab rain proof coat- great colour
Used up in the Lewis Pass whilst tramping in heavy rain. Purchased slightly bigger to allow for extra layers beneath - I’m between sizes. It’ll be great to have pit zips for the warmer rain later in the season.
Swift delivery and good comms with Dwight’s family
Very high quality - true of Rab products. Zips have great glide, I was able to size down from my usual RAB jacket size for this one after Dwights measured the waist over the phone for me. Good sized, adjustable hood. The fabric is fairly quiet/not excessively crinkly-sounding when wearing. Used a number of times in the rain so far and very happy with it. Would recommend.
Looks great - have had lots of compliments - and most importantly, light and very waterproof. It has already been well-tested in downpours and multi-day hikes.
