Why We Like The Rab Firewall Light Jacket
When ominous clouds doom our day in the mountains, we zip up the Rab Firewall Light Jacket. The waterproof and breathable Pertex laminate seals out even the harshest rain storms, while the high placement of the dual hand pockets allow us to access our gear with a harness on.

This is my first Rab purchase but definitely not my last. I would say my view of Rab is they are a bit more performance focused than fashion focused. My normal go to shell is Arctery'x but I wanted to try something different. Rab's proflex fabric interested me because it seemed to offer very good water proof quality while being exceptionally breathable. I can confirm this jacket is VERY breathable and feels great just over a T shirt. The jacket is sized to allow layers (light a light fleece or synthetic jacket) under it. The hood does not appear to be helmet compatible but the draw cord (single) adjustment is fantastic. Its VERY clear Rab knows how to design a proper hood as the front collar comes up nice and high and you can synch the hood down for a lot of protection. The soft feel of the fabric and hood fit was what sold me on this piece. Pockets are well sort and high to allow backpack straps to not interfere. Pockets are also mesh lined to allow ventilation. Some areas that could use improvement are the draw cord hem around the waist (it only goes 3/4 of the way around the hem) and the sleeves are LONG! Overall, this jacket provides a lot of performance for the money and for my use (fall, summer, spring jacket) it seems perfect. I am more concerned with breathability than sheer water resistance (I have goretex pro shell for bomb proof and winter use - where breathability is less of an concern). My first Rab jacket but it won't be my last!
