"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""This jacket is my go-to for cutting the chill on windy ridgelines and exposed trails. The Pertex® Quantum fabric blocks wind completely, and I love how light and packable it is—it disappears into my pack until I need it. The semi-elasticated hood stays put in gusts, and the stiffened peak keeps the wind out of my face. It’s just the right layer for blustery runs or unpredictable conditions in the mountains.""Nothing halts momentum like an icy headwind. The Windgather Hooded Jacket from Rab is designed to keep us moving forward when the wind is working against us. Built with windproof Pertex® Quantum fabric, it acts as a protective shield against cold gusts on ridgelines and exposed trails. Yet, it’s incredibly lightweight and packable, making it an essential layer for fast-moving pursuits. With a close-fitting, low-bulk design, this wind shell stays streamlined without feeling restrictive. The semi-elasticated hood and stiffened peak offer extra coverage when conditions turn harsh, while the two zippered pockets provide space for small essentials. Whether we’re running, hiking, or moving fast in the mountains, this jacket is always within reach for instant wind protection."
