The Rab Arc Eco Jacket is a revolution and a revalation in waterproof jackets. It uses an innovative 3-layer Pertex Shield Revolve that is made entirely from recycled polyester! On top of this it uses a fluorocarbon-free durable water-repellant coating. So not only does it reduce its impact during production, it can also be fully recycled again at the end of its life as all layers are made from the same fabric. The technology and this jacket combined have won awards at the 2021 ISPO Outdoor Awards so you can be sure you're purchasing a winner, but we also like the simple but effective cut and features and the fact that it looks smart for around town use but it still functions for really well for hillwalking and country walking. As you'd expect from someone with the high mountain pedigree of Rab the hood is great in terms of fit, adjustment and protection and the A line pockets, pit zips and adjustable cuffs provide comfort whatever the weather throws at you. And it all comes with that feel good sense that it and therefore you are helping towards lessening damanging manufacturing and waste disposal impact significantly on the outdoors that you love. Rab is Fair Wear Foundation accredited so follow the link to find out what other things they are doing to move production of outdoor clothing and equipment to be more responsible.
