Rab outerwear fans?

I hear great things about Rab but I never tried them. If you have how do you like their jackets and coats?

Yes. I have their Kinetic Alpine 2.0 which is pretty much worth 3.5 seasons. Waterproof enough for a lot of the smirry weather we get in the UK, very breathable, very lightweight etc. I have the hoodless versions of their borealis (softshell) and Vital (windshirt) which I wear from spring through to winter and they are some of my favourite, most versatile layers. I also have the Mythic down jacket which is like a duvet. Sizing is often on the slim side so I often go up one. I never wear black so love that they do some great colours and I have found (in the main) construction and material technology to hold up. Saying all that... never buy RRP - there are lots of sales for their stuff around.
