Namche Bazar: For many, an important starting point for expeditions to the opulent peaks of the Himalayas and a place of longing for alpine fans. Rab does not name its Namche GTX Jacket Men technical rain jacket after the Nepalese town without reason, because this jacket also aims high - in two senses. First of all, this is a model that is equipped for demanding alpine sports: The hood is helmet-compatible and can be adjusted intuitively, the pockets are set higher and are therefore easy to reach even when the backpack strap is closed, the underarm ventilation provides ventilation, the resistant outer material forgives the odd rough rock contact and the narrow cut with extended back protects you while providing a high range of movement. But "high up" also means a sustainable approach. Rab makes the upper of the Namche GTX from completely recycled, fluorocarbon-free fabric and a GORE-TEX® membrane without ePTFE ensures waterproofness. Instead, expanded polyethylene and polyurethane are used here, which are recyclable at the end of the product's life. Furthermore, the impregnation is PFC-free and the fabric is jet-dyed, which uses less energy than conventional dyeing processes. The result is a high-performance, waterproof, responsibly made jacket that is built to last. Its uncompromising weatherproofing, manageable weight and pack size and excellent freedom of movement offer you the complete package for your tours, which can also be very demanding!
