Crafted from Rab's innovative Atmos fabric, equipped with a fluorocarbon-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, the Vital Hoodie stands as a formidable companion for a range of mountain pursuits. Its windproof and water-resistant properties make it a go-to choice for activities like trail running, fast hiking, ridgeline scrambling, and mountain biking.
Remarkably lightweight and compact, this hoodie easily fits into your pack, ready to provide instant wind protection during spring and summer mountain adventures. Boasting breathability, fast drying capabilities, and a comfortable regular fit, it's designed for all-day wear. Notable features include a stiffened peak hood with a volume adjuster, a full-length YKK front zip with an internal storm flap, a roll-over chin guard, and a smart snap closure at the chest that transforms the zip into a deep vent for heat release while keeping the jacket secure. Dropped shoulder seams ensure a seamless fit with a backpack, elasticated cuffs keep the breeze at bay, and two zippered hand pockets provide convenient storage.

The Rab story began in 1981 in the attic of a small, terraced house in Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. Hand-stitched and devised with his own ingenious eye, Rab's experience from years spent in the mountains was apparent in his designs, and soon there was popular demand from Rab's friends and the growing local climbing community. Now, decades later, those honest, hard-wearing designs can be found all over the world; wherever adventurous individuals face up to the elements. From Himalayan peaks to cold, crisp evenings around a camp fire. This began as the brand's story, but it also belongs to those who've loved and cared for each and every one of our products. Who've made them their companions on long trips and expeditions.
