Why We Like The Khroma Kinetic Jacket
The Khroma Kinetic Jacket is a game-changer for mountaineering and backcountry touring. It is Rab's most flexible and breathable ski jacket, providing unmatched comfort and performance in the harshest conditions. With its incredibly high waterproof ratings, this jacket keeps us dry and protected even in heavy snowfall, giving us the confidence to explore without worrying about getting soaked.
One of the standout features of the Khroma Kinetic Jacket is its outstanding breathability, making it an ideal choice for those epic powder days. The jacket's advanced construction allows for amplified breathability, keeping you cool and comfortable during high-intensity activities. Furthermore, its thin and light 3-layer construction enables you to easily pack the jacket down into a compact size, making it convenient to stow in any packed ski pack.
The Khroma Kinetic Jacket also features venting pockets that are large enough to store skins for hot laps, ensuring easy access during quick transitions. The jacket provides additional practicality with adjustments at the helmet-compatible hood, hem, and cuffs, effectively blocking wind and enhancing the overall fit.
