This super lightweight, windproof jacket with a hood is perfect for your spring and summer escapades in the mountains. It's convenient and easy to pack away, so you can wear it all day or stash it until you hit that breezy ridgeline.

Made from Rab's own Atmos™ fabric that features a fluorocarbon-free DWR finish, the Vital Hoody offers both windproof and water resistance. Weighing in at just 130g and designed to take up minimal space in your backpack, it’s an essential piece for tackling those mountain adventures, giving you quick wind protection whenever you need it. It's breathable, quick-drying, and fitted to provide comfort during all-day wear.

The hood features a reinforced peak, adjustable volume at the back, and an elastic opening to keep it snug even when the wind kicks up. It boasts a full-length YKK® front zipper complete with an internal storm flap to block out any cold air and a rollover chin guard to prevent chafing from the zipper. There’s even a clever snap closure at the chest, allowing the zipper to serve as a deep vent for heat release while keeping the jacket secured. The dropped shoulder seams provide a smooth fit with your pack, while the elasticated cuffs help block out drafts. Plus, you’ve got two zippered hand pockets ready to store your gloves or hat when you need them.

This jacket is perfect for all kinds of mountain activities, from trail running and quick hikes to scrambling along ridgelines or mountain biking.
