The Rab Khroma Kinetic Jacket is a high-performance backcountry shell that blends the rugged waterproof protection of a hardshell with the comfort, stretch, and breathability of a softshell. Built for ski touring, mountaineering and fast technical ascents, it uses Rab’s Proflex™ 3-layer membrane to keep you dry while allowing excess moisture to escape — ideal when you’re working hard uphill or skiing hard downhill. The result is a versatile outer layer that stays protective in snow, wind, or rain yet remains comfortable and mobile during strenuous activity.
Key Features
Proflex™ 3-layer fabric — 90% polyamide / 10% elastane with durable water-repellent coating; combines high waterproofing and strong breathability
Stretchy, articulated construction — elastane-infused fabric and pre-shaped sleeves give great freedom of movement on technical terrain, from climbing to skiing.
Ventilation system — mesh-lined chest (Napoleon) pockets plus rear-arm zips let you dump excess heat quickly during intense ascents.
Helmet-compatible hood — two-way adjustable with a wired, stiffened peak to keep weather off while maintaining visibility, even when wearing a ski helmet.
Functional storage & adjustability — multiple external pockets (2 Napoleon + ski pass), internal storage pockets, adjustable cuffs and hem, and a storm-flap front zipper with fleece-lined chin guard for comfort and weather protection.
