This super lightweight, wind-resistant jacket with a hood is perfect for your mountain escapades in spring and summer. It's super practical and easily packable, so you can wear it all day or tuck it away until you hit those windy peaks.

Crafted with Rab's exclusive Atmos™ fabric featuring a fluorocarbon-free DWR finish, the Vital Hoody is not just windproof but also water-resistant. Weighing in at just 130g and designed for compact packing, it's incredibly versatile and a must-have for your spring and summer mountain excursions, giving you instant protection from the gusts when you need it most. With breathability, quick drying capabilities, and a regular fit, it stays comfy throughout your adventures.

The hood comes equipped with a stiff brim, rear volume adjustability, and an elastic opening to keep it snug against the wind. It features a full-length YKK® zipper with a storm flap on the inside to block drafts, along with a chin guard to prevent the zipper from chafing. There’s a handy snap closure at the chest, letting you vent while still keeping the jacket secure. The dropped shoulder seams ensure a seamless fit with a backpack, while elastic cuffs shut out the breeze, and two zipped pockets are perfect for stashing gloves or a beanie when needed.

This jacket is great for all sorts of mountain activities—from running and speed hiking to scrambling along ridgelines or biking!
