What is the Phantom Pull-On?The Phantom is an extremely lightweight and packable wind and waterproof pullover from Rab that can be worn all day, but also pack down to nothing when not in use, making for the ultimate stash and forget waterproof shell for mountain runners.
What is the Phantom Pull-On made from?The Phantom Pull-On is made primarily from a 7D Pertex Shield 2.5L fabric with DWR and added stretch. The Pertex Shield fabric provides a waterproof and windproof membrane, whilst the 7D fabric maintains an incredibly lightweight overall package that results in a minuscule pack size (12cmx6cm) and weight (90g). The stretch fabric has allowed Rab to use a slimmer cut without compromising on functionality whilst further reducing the weight and pack size of the Phantom.
What are the features? As you’d expect for a Pull-On that has been designed with minimum weight and pack size in mind, the feature list isn’t enormous, but Rab has added everything you might need and eliminated anything that wouldn’t be necessary for a mountain running piece.
Starting from the top there is a reduced volume hood with a micro elasticated front section. This hood has been designed to sit close to your head, so any excess volume has been removed, but you could still fit a beanie underneath on those chilly starts. The YKK chest zip has been extended down to the sternum to allow for deep venting, whilst half micro elasticated hem and cuffs keep the Phantom in place without any need for further adjustment toggles and drawcords. Reflective branding has been added to improve visibility in poor conditions and a stuff sack is included for storage when the Phantom isn’t needed.
How does the Phantom Pull-On fit?The Phantom Pull-On has been designed around a slim fit and is intended to sit fairly close to the body over a baselayer or other lightweight layer. The added stretch in the fabric will mean the overall fit will be fairly snug, without any excess material to get in the way when moving fast through the mountains.
Where does it fit in the layering system?The Phantom is your ultra-lightweight outer layer for use when trail running. Ideally, it should be worn over a baselayer when a waterproof/windproof layer is needed. Otherwise, it packs down very small so it can be stashed in your running pack/waist belt.
