Reviews & Ratings for Rab Torque Jacket - Men's — 6 reviews — Page 1

This jacket ticks all the boxes: breathable, durable, a hood that actually fits a helmet, and cuffs that accommodate gloves. It is more winter focused due to the cuffs, but I could not imagine a better jacket for ice climbing or winter mountaineering.

The Rab Torque Jacket is a lightweight soft shell meant for alpine endeavors. It is very breathable and stretchy. It will shed light rain, but will wet out in an all out downpour. Good fit. The opposite side zipper takes a little to get used to.

Not much info out there about this jacket. Took a chance on it and it’s not leaving my pack for any trip now. Was worried about the fit which happens to be perfect. Almost like it was tailored for me. I’m 6’ 180#s with a 36” sleeve, 43” chest and 32” waist. The XL fits and layers great with a base and fleece or just base. I’ve used it on hikes ranging from 6-22mi on 14ers this spring and it cuts harsh 40mph+ wind in below 10deg mornings as well as any other non insulated shell. Sheds light rain/snow well. I did drench it in a down pour to see how long it would take to fully wet out. Took a few hours of mild to hard below tree line rain and the only negative thing I noticed was that it didn’t dry out as fast as my Arc’teryx Gamma AR pants. The zippers are in perfect places and work with ease. All the features and construction seem to be legit. Now just need to see if it holds up to the test of time.

Great jacket; slightly heavier fabric than my other RAB jackets, and more durable. However, the zipper is somewhat awkward, as it has double zippers at the bottom so that when it's zipped up, it can unzip from the bottom.

My intention was to use this with layer options. The sleeves had generous length however just to tight around the forearm area. I would normally wear a large being 6' 175lbs. I ordered a XL. Wore this over a marmot variant jacket medium size and my arms were tight. The rest of the jacket fit great. I was bummed.
