British outdoor brand Rab (owned by Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd.) has unveiled its updated Vapour-Rise collection for mountain activities.
Rooted in Rab Carrington’s concept, a jacket tailored to the ‘fast’ alpinism of his era, Vapour-Rise has been crafted to manage fluctuating weather conditions and activity levels, making it an ideal choice for anyone engaged in high-intensity mountain activities.
The Autumn/Winter 2023 Vapour-Rise collection includes seven distinct styles for men and women, each tailored to cater to the requirements of mountain runners, adventure cyclists and alpinists.
Rab has built on its heritage, staying true to the “put-on keep-on” concept that has garnered popularity within the outdoor community.
Using a new generation of innovative and lightweight Pertex Quantum Air fabric with fluorocarbon-free DWR, combined with body-mapped designs, Rab has engineered a range of more wind and water-resistant products that offer exceptional protection while ensuring optimal breathability and wicking during tough uphill sections.
The designs balance the rise and fall of energy, hitting the sweet spot between wind chill, evaporative cooling, and the unpredictable conditions confronted by mountain people in their element.
Within the collection, you will find:
VR Ridgeline Jacket – When reaching the summit demands a head-down, press-on approach, the VR Ridgeline Jacket, Rab’s lightest and most breathable Vapour-Rise style for men and women, offers the wind resistance and moisture control you need to keep warm and maintain your resolve through biting winds. Body-mapped specifically for running, built for those who are undeterred by the challenges of winter.
VR Summit Jacket – Warm, protective, and offering moisture management, the VR
Summit Jacket for men and women is an all-day active insulation for big mountain days in winter. Responding to your output and dealing with peaks and troughs of activity, it keeps you comfortable and making progress on frozen ascents and wild backcountry lines.
VR Alpine Light Jacket – Built for those moments when you’re out on 
the sharp end, the VR Alpine Light Jacket deflects the whip of the wind while regulating your temperature. Fusing the moisture control of Rab’s tried and tested Vapour-Rise system with protective details such as its helmet-compatible hood, it offers all-day comfort to keep you moving on exposed ascents.
VR Cinder Jacket – Maximize on crisp mornings with the bike-specific incarnation of Rab’s Vapour-Rise range, deflecting brisk headwinds while managing moisture so there’s no need
to change layers when the gradient rises. Keep riding through winter with the VR Cinder Jacket for men and women.
