JeremyS's Review of Rab Xenon Jacket - Men's

This is a surprisingly light jacket with outstanding wing and water-resistant qualities. It's also quite warm, which may be a result of the proprietary Stratus insulation, or simply because the shell is so effective. Either way, it's a great jacket for wet, cool weather down to around 40F--more if you have a fleece underneath.

I didn't give it five stars for a couple reasons. First, the fit is baggy. Most Rab garments are on the slim-fitting side, but this sometimes feels like a trash bag with sleeves. Second, the elastic around the wrists is loose, and lets in cold air. I suppose if you plan on using under the cuff gloves, this might be perfect. Otherwise, it's a bit drafty.
Pros:
  • Light weight
  • Very water resistant
  • Very wind resistant
  • Deceptively warm
Cons:
  • Baggy fit
  • Wrist elastic is loose
Best Used for:
  • Wet, cool spring/fall days
Would Recommend: Yes
