Rab is continuing its push into mountain biking clothing and, if this new jacket (part of Rab's Spring/Summer 2024 collection) is anything to go by, bring it on, I say! Well thought out and meticulously crafted using premium fabric – as well as looking good – it upholds Rab’s reputation for excellent outdoor gear. See how the Cinder Downpour compares to other waterproof jackets we have reviewed recently. I tested the women’s version, and the men’s is almost the same apart from sizing and colors – which incidentally are very attractive for both genders (in my opinion). My Red Grapefruit jacket is a sort of burnt ochre.
Kit of this quality doesn’t come cheap, but you’re investing in clothing that’s reliable, made to last and is created with sustainability in mind. Also, Rab’s gear is covered by the Rab Promise, which includes a warranty to repair or replace any garment that fails due to a manufacturing defect during its usable lifetime, plus the brand offers wash and repair services to all customers as part of its drive to be more environmentally responsible.
