About this item

  • Packable Wind Protection for Mountain Running | A super lightweight running jacket that shields you from the wind on gusty ridges.
  • Compact Construction | Weighing just over 5 oz, this running shell packs into an integrated internal stuff sack so you can easily stow it in the pocket of your running shorts or hydration vest.
  • Functional Features | Though lightweight, the Vital Windshell sports an elasticated, adjustable hood to ensure it stays on in windy conditions, low-profile elasticated cuffs, two hand pockets, and an adjustable hem.
  • Windproof | Made from a lightweight nylon fabric that blocks strong winds so you can continue on comfortably.
  • Stay Visible | Reflective logos on the front and back of the jacket keep you visible when you’re running in low-light conditions.


Part of Rab’s lightweight and functional mountain running collection, the Men’s Vital Windshell Hoody offers packable protection from the wind—a key piece of gear when you’re putting miles behind you in the mountains. This compact jacket packs into its own internal stuff sack so you can stow it in the pocket of your running shorts or hydration vest. The outer fabric blocks biting gusts, while the adjustable, elasticated hood is designed to stay put, even when the wind really starts cranking.

I have to return this. The jacket is too small. Also the zipper-pull is left handed. In the US Men's jackets pull from the right hand side. I might suspect that they sent me a woman's jacket (which would account for the small size and the left handed zipper pull). But the jacket is unmarked for gender, and a close up of the jacket picture from the image here on Amazon does seem to indicate that the male model is wearing a jacket with a left handed zipper pull. If I had to guess this is a cultural difference, but I don't know. However I will say that otherwise, the jacket is exactly what I was looking for.

Usual level of Rab excellence - nice throw on, with good wind and light rain resistance.

思った以上に軽く、リュックの外部ポケットに入ります。ただポケットから出してすぐはクシャクシャのままです。でもすぐにシワは消えます。ボタン止めは秀逸。シワシワは減点。

estremamente packable, il raincoat é di ottima fattura (come qualsiasi capo che esce da RAB) - provato in una giornata x qualche ora sotto la pioggia - traspirante, antivento, semplicemente perfetto.

This "jacket" is probably pound for pound the most expensive item I've ever bought. Cheaply made, lousy zipper, barely breaks the wind.

This jacket passes the blowing test with mouth pressed tight against it forcing air as hard a I can. Completely solid barrier.It’s crazy light, and despite not having an integrated stow pocket, it does in fact stow easily into one of its hand pockets and can even be zipped shut in there.Compresses basically flat and can be stuffed anywhere.Sheds water nice and has a good DWR finish, which can be reapplied easily in the future.
