Rab Kinetic 2.0 jacket review - Enjoy the silence

[@yiruvirda]

I feel we share the same need when buying gear :-D I have this one in green,aside from everything you said here it also looks great! Great review again

[@BelgianHikers]

I seem to always stick with the boring colors, but the green is definitely a looker!

[@BelgianHikers]

Just realized Beluga is the color of the caviar (from a different animal), not the color of the whale. I'm officially an idiot 🙈😅

[@stanlee3619]

I'm more of an idiot, because I never would have figured that out. I watched this video just after I ordered it. Great review, and very funny. Subscribed.

Slightly heavier jackets are better for cx skiing. I feel the super-light madness has gone far enough, then I am freezing my ... because of it. I will consider this jacket.

[@tanvach]

I’m so tempted to get this for snowshoeing and winter camping. Any chance you have tested the breathability when the jacket has wetted out?

[@BelgianHikers]

Can’t say that I have, sorry!

[@MSD-bp6mx]

Rab makes great gear!

[@BelgianHikers]

That they do! Looking forward to reviewing some more of their stuff.

[@patternview]

So its only waterproof because of DWR? Than its not more waterpropf than any other softshell with a DWR treatment applied?!??

[@Think-again]

Is it PFC free? I dont think so, there is only said PFAS free on some sources but never PFC free..

Fantastic review

[@BelgianHikers]

Thanks man!

Can you wear a bobble hat or buff under the hood? 🤯

[@BelgianHikers]

Sure, some people even wear a helmet underneath (though that doesn't seem all that comfortable to me). Regular hats, buffs, midlayer hoods: no problem.

[@steve_and_lolas_hikes]

I thought this would be a game changer for me.....but it just isn't waterproof at all. The top of the shoulders are awful and soak through for some reason!!! I went for the Kangri eventually.

[@BelgianHikers]

Rab rates the Kinetic's waterproofness 3/5, and the Kangri 5/5. I figure that's about right. Wouldn't want to spend hours in the rain with it, but I can't say it's ever really soaked through for me.
