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

The Stretch Neo Jacket is a waterproof and highly breathable jacket designed for mountain use.

The Stretch Neo takes advantage of an all new technology from softshell supremos Polartec - the new Neoshell® fabric. Neoshell Fabric takes softshell technology one step further. Polartec have managed to find the 'holy-grail' of highly breathable, 99.9% windproof and waterproof fabric that even has stretch built in.

By increasing air exchange in the fabric it dramatically improves the active environment within the garment, users will be drier inside in a wide range of activities and exertion levels than ever before.

We have used the Neoshell fabric and applied tried and tested Rab design know-how. A simple, uncluttered design (with a helmet compatible and adjustable hood, 2 napoleon pockets with water resistant zips and 2 internal mesh pockets), means the Stretch Neo Jacket has all the features you need.

  I've been waiting years to replace my Patagonia Triolet shell. I was very close to getting a Latok jacket, but Rab stuff is so rare in the states... My little brother got one and I was very impressed, so I took a chance and ordered one of these. Very impressed, the construction is at least equivalent to the finest gear available, and the fit is superb! I'm 5'10", 155 lbs. with longish arms wearing a small and it fits like it was custom tailored for me. The jacket does not ride up when I reach over my head. I'm glad to see that some one is still making gear cut for athletes moving in the mountains rather than chunky middle aged folks moving through the city. Well done Rab, your gear is quickly becoming my favorite.
