Rab Men's Khroma Kinetic Waterproof Ski Jacket

Lightweight, stretchy, and exceptionally breathable, the Khroma Kinetic provides the protection of a hardshell while delivering the comfort of a softshell. Designed with proprietary Proflex™ fabric, this jacket efficiently manages moisture, drawing it away from the body more effectively than a traditional hardshell. Whether tackling spring ascents or high-intensity climbs, users can regulate heat swiftly using the rear arm zips or create cross-ventilation by opening the mesh-lined front pockets. When temperatures rise, the jacket compresses down to a compact size, making it easy to stash in a pack without taking up excessive space.

With built-in stretch and articulated sleeves, the design allows for unrestricted movement across technical terrain. The generously sized front pockets provide ample space for skins or maps, ensuring quick access to essentials. When strong winds or sudden blizzards set in, the adjustable hood offers enhanced protection and can be worn over a helmet. A wired peak and smooth head-turn functionality maintain clear visibility, even in challenging conditions.

For those seeking a versatile system that excels across a range of demanding environments—whether remote ski touring, hut-to-hut expeditions, or navigating steep, technical lines—this jacket is built to handle it all.
