What is the Vital Windshell? The Vital Windshell Hoody really is a vital piece of kit for a day up the hills. Whether you're moving fast and the weather is foul or you're stopping for lunch and require some wind protection, the Windshell is your ideal jacket.
What is it made from? Rab use their Hyperlite Nylon outer for the Windshell, providing complete windproofing and a high level of water resistancy when the weather turns nasty. Since this fabric is made from 100% nylon, it is also incredibly durable for the weight and will dry exceptionally quickly if you get well and truly drenched.
What are the features?
An elasticated hood with a stiffened peak keeps the rain away from your face, while rear volume adjustment caters for a range of differently sized users. Two YKK zipped pockets allow you to hide your hands away in cold winds.
How does it fit?
This jacket features Rab's 'regular fit', meaning you have enough room underneath for lightweight insulation or fleece layers, yet not so much that the fabric hangs off excessively. There is more than enough room to move inside, even when layered up correctly.
