What is the Rime IN Flex Hooded Jacket?
The Rime IN Flex Hooded jacket is a lightweight, super warm synthetically insulated jacket. Everything about this jacket has been specifically designed to optimise freedom of movement. It’s most at home on mountaineering trips in the alps as well as cold walks in the Brecon Beacons.
What is it made of?
Insulation: The Rime is filled with 100g of OTI stretch insulation for optimum heat retention and increased freedom of movement. The insulation feels deliciously soft when you’re wearing it and moves with your body – even in the most demanding conditions. Although the outer material isn’t waterproof, synthetic insulation will still retain heat even when it gets wet – meaning that you’ll still be warn even if you get caught out in a shower.
Outer Material: Protecting all of that insulation is a lightweight, compressible, slightly stretchy Pertex Quantum Air fabric. This fabric helps to protect you and the insulation from the elements whilst increasing the jackets breathability – incredibly important when your working hard in the mountains.
Inner material: The lining in this jacket is also worth a mention. The Rime has been given and elastic lining with the jacket hugs your body to keep you warm whilst also not hindering your movements – perfect for scrambling, mountaineering, ice climbing and when using trekking poles.
What are the features?
Starting from the top, the hood is fully adjustable and anatomically shaped whilst also being able to comfortably sit over a helmet – this excellent adjustability means the hood can be synched right down to keep your head toasty with or without a helmet. All of the pockets have been designed with practicality in mind – the two hand warmer pockets sit high and out of the way of harnesses and hip belts on rucksacks whilst the chest pocket sits out of the way of the shoulder and chest straps on a backpack.
The front YKK Vislon zipper is two way so is easy to open for extra ventilation when using a harness. The hem drawcord can be adjusted with one hand – perfect if you’re belaying or when you have a walking axe in one hand. To further seal out the cold you have elasticated cuffs that sit snug to your wrists.
How does it fit?
The Rime fits into Mammut’s ‘Regular Fit’ fit block. These garments have a more generous cut that their ‘Athletic Cut’ to allow for extra layers but still share the same tailored traits as the ‘Athletic Cut’ fit block.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
The Rime works well as a stand a lone jacket on cold days but will still easily slide under a shell jacket for an extra layer of protection in the worst conditions.
