Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

Rab Mens Kangri GTX Jacket Army

Season:Sale SS25

Brand:Rab

Code:QWH-01-ARM-

THE KIND OF JACKET YOU FORGET TO WORRY ABOUTThe first thing you notice with the Kangri GTX is just how tough it feels. That 70D outer fabric is properly rugged. You don’t worry about it brushing up against rock, trees, or your pack straps. We've dragged ours through some nasty weather and rough terrain, and it still looks great. It’s not one of those shells you have to baby

What is the Kangri Jacket?

The Kangri is a feature packed, reliable, comfortable and high performing shell jacket for year-round walking, trekking and general mountain activities. The Kangri has been updated for this season and now uses a Recycled outer fabric with a Gore-Tex membrane that guarantees you’ll stay dry and comfortable in the worst conditions.

What is it made of?

Rab use a super tough Recycled 70D nylon throughout the jacket to ensure abrasion and general abuse is dealt with effectively. This outer fabric is treated with a DWR (durable water repellent) to prevent water sinking into the outer fabric and negatively affecting breathability. Underneath this outer fabric you'll find a Gore-Tex membrane which is guaranteed waterproof and windproof. Finally, a polyester inner fabric provides comfort next to skin.

What are the features?

Starting at the top as usual, Rab provide you with a fully adjustable hood with a laminated and wired peak. Moving down, a fleece-lined chin guard and back of neck wicks away sweat and increases comfort. The YKK AquaGuard front zip features an internal storm flap to help keep the weather out when it’s at its worst. Other useful features include two hand pockets with YKK AquaGuard Zips and an internal securing clip, 2-Way YKK AquaGuard pit zips under each arm to dump heat quickly and effectively, an internal zipped security pocket, an elasticated hem, anti-snag hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs, a waist drawcord with a one handed adjustment system and lastly some reflective logos for safety purposes. You get everything you need and nothing you don't.

Please note, the Kangri does not have a tab to roll the hood away.

How does it fit?

The Kangri fits into Rab's 'regular' fit block, meaning additional layers can be worn underneath without restriction or discomfort, however the multitude of adjustment points allows you to reduce the overall volume when just wearing a baselayer. A dropped hem provides extra coverage.

Rab Kangri GTX Jacket Review The Rab Kangri GTX is one of those jackets that just feels right the moment you throw it on. It's tough, properly waterproof, and clearly made for long, wet days in the British hills. The hood is brilliant—you can cinch it in so it doesn't budge, and the wired peak keeps the rain out of your face without that annoying flappy feeling. When the weather turns grim, that hood alone feels like a bit of a lifesaver.
It's not the lightest shell you'll ever own, but that's the beauty of it. It isn't a "just in case" jacket – it's the one you wear all day, through sideways rain and howling wind, and you know it will look after you.

Two-Way Zip: Small Feature, Big Difference The two-way zip on the Kangri is one of those features we really rate here at Trekitt. It gives you that extra bit of flexibility on the hill — whether you’re climbing, belaying, or just need to dump heat on a steep ascent without opening yourself up to the weather. With a harness on, it’s a no-brainer: you can get straight to your belay device or tie-in point without fuss. It’s practical, reliable, and exactly the sort of detail that makes the Kangri such a solid mountain shell.
Venting When You Need It The Kangri’s pit zips do exactly what you want them to. When you’re grafting uphill in wet weather, you can open them up and dump heat without peeling layers or letting the rain straight in. They’re a good length, easy to get hold of with gloves, and they actually shift some air, not just the token short zips you see on some jackets. It’s a simple, practical feature that makes a long, damp climb a bit more comfortable.

FAQ

Is the Rab Kangri GTX Jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it's made from durable Three-layer GORE-TEX fabric, offering full waterproof protection and wind resistance. It's designed for serious mountain use in all weather conditions.

How does the hood perform in bad weather?

The hood is helmet-compatible, fully adjustable, and has a wired peak to keep rain out of your face. It holds its shape well even in strong winds, making it one of the standout features of the jacket.

Is the Rab Kangri GTX too heavy for backpacking?

It's not the lightest option, but it's designed for durability and dependable protection. If you're heading into areas with persistent bad weather, the Kangri is a much better choice than an ultralight “just in case” shell.

Can I wear the Kangri GTX for everyday use?

You can, though it's built for the mountains first and foremost. It’s tough, weatherproof, and reliable, but may feel overbuilt for quick errands around town compared to lighter, more casual waterproofs.

How does the fit compare to other Rab jackets?

The Kangri has a regular mountain cut. There's room for layering underneath, but it doesn't feel baggy. The longer hem also provides excellent coverage in wet and windy conditions.

Does it make a lot of noise when moving?

Like most robust 3-layer GORE-TEX jackets, the fabric has a bit of a “swish” sound, but it’s not overly stiff or distracting. The protection you get far outweighs this minor detail.

Is the Kangri GTX suitable for winter use?

Absolutely. The jacket is designed to handle harsh weather, and the cut leaves room for a warm midlayer or insulated jacket underneath, making it a reliable winter shell.

Can it pack down small?

It packs reasonably well into a rucksack, but it’s not as compact as ultralight shells. This is a jacket built for wearing all day in poor weather rather than carrying “just in case.”

Technical Information

Main Fabric - GORE-TEX 3-Layer construction waterproof technology (70D) with recycled outer fabric

HH: 28,000mm

Fit: Regular

Centre back length (Size M): 78cm/30.7inch

Weight: 524g/18.5oz (Size M)


For best performance:

With any new waterproof, we advise you to wash the product with the appropriate tech wash and reapply a fresh DWR to activate the technology and achieve the best performance from day one.

How does waterproof technology work?

Modern waterproof technology often uses a waterproof membrane sandwiched between layers of fabric and a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) on the outer material.

What is 'wetting out', and how does it affect my waterproof?

DWRs commonly get worn down from contact, whether with your backpack or your fingertips. When the DWR wears down, your waterproof product may begin to 'wet out', meaning the water stops beading off the surface and starts to soak in instead.

While the waterproof membrane will prevent the jacket from leaking or water from getting inside, when your jacket wets out, moisture (from sweat or condensation) can build up on the interior, causing it to feel moist.

There's a common misconception that, when this happens, the product is faulty because people believe the waterproof membrane is leaking. However, this is most likely not the case; you simply need to clean your jacket and reapply the DWR.

The easiest way to spot when this is happening is to see if water beads off the material's surface or soaks in.

PFC/PFAS usage in modern waterproof and DWR technology

Most modern DWR technology avoids the use of PFCs/PFAS chemicals.

PFC-free means perfluorinated chemical-free. Companies such as Gore-Tex® are also beginning to eliminate these harmful chemicals in their waterproof membranes with technology like Gore-Tex® ePE.

What are PFC/PFAS chemicals?

Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are also known as forever chemicals and cause environmental harm, similar to PFAS.

PFAS means per- or poly-fluorinated alkyl; these are a group of industrial chemicals that also cause detrimental harm to the environment, often through product and garment manufacture.

These chemicals can't break down, so once they reach nature (usually via factory water waste), they stay in the ecosystem and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFAS and PFCs are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect mammal reproduction and hormone production. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are now prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a more responsible manufacturing process.

How to care for a new waterproof product

PFC/PFAS-free waterproof products still perform effectively. However, they will require more frequent care (washing and reapplying a DWR) to ensure consistency. We stock various care products for this, which you can browse here. If this is your first time doing this, check out our easy how-to guide by clicking here.
