British outdoor brand Rab (owned by Equip Outdoor Technologies) has unveiled its updated Vapour-Rise collection for fast-pace run, cycle and outdoor activities in the autumn-fall/winter season.
A release from Tab noted that… ‘Rooted in Rab Carrington’s visionary concept, a jacket tailored to the ‘fast’ alpinism of his era, Vapour-Rise has been meticulously crafted to efficiently manage fluctuating weather conditions and activity levels, making it the ideal choice for anyone engaged in high-intensity mountain activities.’
The 2023 Vapour-Rise collection encompasses seven distinct styles for men and women, each tailored to cater to the unique requirements of mountain runners, adventure cyclists, and alpinists.
The protective softshell jacket has a body mapped lining to maximise moisture management, with a wind resistant collar and run-ready fit without excess fabric. The body mapped lining fabrics enhance moisture management, while the shaped and mesh lined collar provides wind protection on exposed runs.
Rab adds that it has built on its heritage, staying true to a ‘put-on keep-on’ concept that garnered popularity within the outdoor community. Using a new generation of innovative and lightweight Pertex Quantum Air fabric with fluorocarbon-free DWR, combined with body-mapped designs, Rab has engineered a range of even more wind and water resistant products that offer protection while ensuring optimal breathability and wicking during tough uphill sections.
‘These designs harmoniously balance the rise and fall of energy, hitting the sweet spot between wind chill, evaporative cooling, and the unpredictable conditions confronted by mountain people in their element.’
