Reviews & Ratings for Rab Kinetic Plus Jacket - Women's — 6 reviews — Page 1

Stretchy, so comfortable, and so functional. Great fit. Long enough in body and sleeve for great coverage and look. I got the bright purple color and love it. Waterproof and breathable. My husband has 3 of these and got me one too. I might get two more.

Bought this for my daughter; my partner and I each own one in our sizes. (You can detect a trend.)

The material is what makes this unbeatable. It is waterproof (at least as far as we've tested it - in many steady rains but no day-long drenching), but unlike other shells, it is is completely soft and flexible. Not "crinkly" or stiff. It's like wearing a cotton sweatshirt. Unbelievable comfort.

I've got a slight abrasion where a backpack strap rubbed against the chest during a long through hike, but nothing terrible. I'd describe it as small pilling.

The bright purple on this coat is awesome. It is very slim fitting and I am finding it most useful for warm rainy ascents (and am planning on using it for x-country ski and backcountry in the winter). It repels water, breathes, is very stretchy and overall is now my raincoat of choice when I don't need a few layers underneath. I can only fit a very light puffy under it so definitely size up if you plan on wearing anything other than a base layer or sun shirt and thin puffy underneath. I'm in a small, 5/7 130, and could've potentially gone for a medium but decided to stick with the trim fit.

This jacket is incredible - the first of its kind. It has stretchy, soft material that doesn't make you feel sticky when it rains! Two large pockets, one with a little baggy which the jacket can be stuffed into. Two Velcro straps on the sleeves to adjust how tight the wrists are. The hood has a visor which keeps the rain away.

Sizing -
I am 5 feet, 115 pounds, very athletic build. I ordered both the XS and Small.

XS - I could BARELY zip the XS with just a tank top on underneath. This thing was SKIN tight. It also rode up my armpits and was VERY uncomfortable. I think the XS is made for a very thin human with almost no fat and no muscles.
Small - Loved it. The fit was still athletic (not boxy), I was able to wear my Arc'teryx Atom LT Hoody under the Rab rain jacket and still zip the rain jacket (it was tight - but really doable because of the stretchy material the rain jacket is made from)! The sleeves are long for someone of my height but I didn't notice it being a big deal because the velco straps at the wrists keep the sleeves in place. I'm keeping the small!

I got this jacket recently and already love it, the lightweight material makes it a great piece for any weather or recreational activity. It's durable and looks great, I'd highly recommend this jacket to anyone!!
