Rab men s spark jacket review.

It has the cut of a true mountaineering jacket and if you only do light alpine climbing this jacket would be ideal. Rab intends the spark to be the go to waterproof for high intensity activities in harsh wet environments. The pertex shield fabric was a good start soft waterproof and very breathable with a touch of stretch built in. The version used by rab in the spark jacket also has stretch properties which make this jacket more comfortable to move around in.

What makes this jacket so good is the low weight and stretch properties its ideal therefore for a range of activities from mountain marathons to day treks to mountain. You can pick up this shell for just 150 at moosejaw that s a steal. From hiking biking and mountain running to hill walking kayaking and trekking the spark jacket is the do it all shell for outdoor enthusiasts who never miss an opportunity. Built from 40d pertex shield 2 5l stretch fabric the spark jacket is a lightwe.

Rab has always been a master of combining light weight with maximum weatherproofing in its jackets so we were expecting a lot of the spark. For people like me who are more likely to find themselves bouldering top roping backpacking or cycling this jacket.
