What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I reach for the Khroma Kinetic when I know I'll be skinning hard and need weather protection without overheating. It breathes better than most shells I've used, but still blocks out wind and snow. The stretch is awesome too-it moves with me when I'm booting up steep lines or reaching for a tricky hold."We count on the Rab Khroma Kinetic Jacket when we want to stay dry without feeling sealed in. Rab designed this jacket with Proflex fabric, a waterproof-breathable material that acts like a hardshell but stretches like a softshell, so we can move freely whether we're skinning, skiing, or scrambling up a ridgeline. A fluorocarbon-free DWR coating sheds light snow and sleet, while fully sealed seams back up its 20K waterproof rating to keep the storm out. This jacket isn't just about keeping the weather at bay-it's about keeping us comfortable on the climb and descent. The 25K breathability rating, paired with rear arm zips, dumps heat quickly when we're pushing hard. The helmet-compatible hood, articulated sleeves, and adjustable cuffs all keep us dialed in for changing conditions, while a suite of five pockets ensures our essentials are always close at hand. It's the shell we grab when we need one jacket that can handle stormy peaks, long tours, and everything in between.
