Rab - For the most extreme conditions in the world | Shell

The Alpine Tour jacket, as the name suggests, has been designed as an eVent waterproof shell for Ski Touring.

The Alpine Tour jacket utilises incredibly breathable midweight eVent® 3 layer fabric, we then use narrow seam tape on non load-bearing seams to further increase breathability and save weight. If that isn't enough and you're working really hard - perhaps skinning up to an alpine hut for Glühwein! - then we also include mesh lined front pockets and under arm pit zips for further ventilation and cooling.

The front pockets are ideal for storing skins when not in use and the fixed snow skirt ensures that powder stays out of the jacket. A security pocket on the sleeve is ideal for a lift pass or other essentials and the hood is designed to take a ski helmet and can be clipped down out of the way when not in use.

  Awesome Jacket well constructed and light weight. My only issue with the jacket is the cut. I am by no means overweight yet I have to say I feel fat wearing this jacket. I am 5' 10'' with a 30" waist and the jacket is extremely snug in a size medium. I have to pick my insulation layers with caution and I am contently pulling the jacket down as it rides up. The shoulder and and arms are great and I love the minimal features. But it fits like a running jacket not a ski jacket. If you are looking for a ski touring jacket that works well in mild/warm conditions this will be great.
