Rab Carrington (as in the Rab in Rab!) originally devised the Vapour-Rise concept by combining the technology of high wicking micro fleece & Pertex Equilibrium fabrics to produce a single garment with a 2 layer construction that offers superb weather protection & immense breathability. The brand new Vapour-Rise Flex Pullon combines the performance of VR fabrics with the comfort & stretch of Matrix SWS side panels to produce a supremely lightweight, highly breathable & incredibly comfortable pullon resulting in a feather weight, high wicking top that works as a base layer, mid layer or outer layer. This incredibly versatile top offers year round protection for mountain activities by balancing comfort, windproofing & breathability; what more could you need? The 2 layer Vapour-Rise technology uses your body heat acts as a pump working with the micro fleece brushed lining to push moisture away from your skin & move it to the face fabric. Pertex Equilibrium face fabric has larger filaments on the inside & smaller filaments on the outside. The laws of capillary action dictate that moisture will move from large filaments to smaller ones, pulling your sweat away from the lining & spreading it out over the large outer surface area.  This evaporative heat loss & moisture wicking create a temperature equilibrium to keep you comfortable & dry in all conditions.  Finally a robust DWR treatment on the outside repels water. Rabs own Matrix SWS stretch softshell panels under the arms & down the sides ensure a close fit to maximise the wicking performance of the lining & provide unrestricted movement. Because the Vapour-Rise Flex  Pullon breathes so well it works perfectly as mid layer under your hardshell if the weather turns really nasty. We recommend using the Rab Aeon Tee under Vapour Rise garments as its silky smooth fabric glides smoothly against the VRs wicking liner & maximises the wicking properties.

This is the Daddy of winter softshells! The Vapour-Rise system was originally devised by Rab Carrington himself & is exclusive to Rab. Vapour-Rise is a dual layer system that provides windproof, breathable, high wicking & quick drying performance in a single garment for all mountain activities. The Vapour– Rise Guide jacket is the warmest in the VR range & offers amazing levels of insulation, breathability, weather resistance & durability. Lined with high loft fleece over core body area for maximum insulation areas & VR micro fleece over the arms & shoulders to maximise breathability it is protected by durable & weather resistant Pertex Equilibrium fabric & Rab’s own double weave softshell. Pertex Equilibrium on the main body is backed with Polartec high loft grid fleece & the double weave stretch softshell over the shoulders & arms is backed with standard Vapour-Rise mid weight fleece velour. Your body heat acts as a pump working with the high loft fleece lining to push moisture away from your skin & move it to the face fabric. Pertex Equilibrium face fabric has larger filaments on the inside & smaller filaments on the outside. The laws of capillary action dictate that moisture will move from large filaments to smaller ones, pulling your sweat away from the lining & spreading it out over the large outer surface area.  This evaporative heat loss & moisture wicking create a temperature equilibrium to keep you comfortable & dry in all conditions. Finally a robust DWR (durable water repellent) treatment on the outside repels water. The VR guide features a fully adjustable & wired peak helmet compatible hood & 5 pockets to stash all your essentials. Even though the fabric is incredibly breathable Rab have fitted pit zips for when you are having to work extra hard. All this fabric technology combines to keep you comfortable whatever the weather.

Rab Carrington (as in the Rab in Rab!) originally devised the Vapour-Rise concept by combining the technology of high wicking micro fleece & Pertex Equilibrium fabrics to produce a single garment with a 2 layer construction that offers superb weather protection & immense breathability. This is a supremely lightweight & highly breathable hooded jacket that uses a slimmed down version of the highly acclaimed original Vapour Rise system, making it lighter, sportier & more desirable resulting in a feather weight, high wicking top that works as a base layer, mid layer or outer layer.

The Vapour Rise Lite Alpine Jacket features a fixed hood with a proper wired peak & Rabs brilliant hood design, which I personally think is one of the best. You also get two chest pockets that wont interfere with your pack or your harness.
