FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Rab Latok Mountain Jacket?

It is designed for year-round mountain adventures, offering durable, breathable, and waterproof protection for activities like hiking, trekking, and mountaineering in harsh weather conditions.

What makes the fabric construction unique?

It uses a dual-weight construction: tougher fabric on the shoulders and sleeves for abrasion resistance from backpacks, and lighter fabric on the core for enhanced mobility and breathability.

Is the hood compatible with helmets?

Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible and features one-hand adjustment for quick and easy fitting.

What is the benefit of the RECCO® reflector?

The integrated RECCO® reflector assists mountain rescue teams in locating you in the event of an avalanche or other emergency.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Wash on a warm cycle with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Reapply DWR treatment if water no longer beads on the surface.

Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?

Yes, it provides excellent wind and water protection. For very cold conditions, layering with an insulating mid-layer is recommended.

What does 'GORE-TEX PRO Product Technology' mean?

GORE-TEX PRO is the most durable and breathable fabric construction within the GORE-TEX range, specifically engineered for extreme conditions and extended use by outdoor professionals.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as waterproof as expected.

Ensure the DWR finish is active. If not, reapply a DWR treatment after washing. Check all zippers and seams for damage.

Hood adjustment is difficult.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the adjustment cords. Practice adjusting with gloves on to get a feel for the mechanism.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can be normal during high-intensity activity. Ensure pit zips (if present) are open for ventilation. Check that the garment is not contaminated with dirt or oils, which can impede breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. You can apply a wax-based lubricant specifically designed for outdoor gear zippers.

  • Versatile design suitable for various mountain activities.
  • Integrated safety features like RECCO® reflector.

Cons

  • May be over-engineered for light trekking or daily use.
  • The dual-fabric construction might add slight bulk in non-critical areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • The hood is designed to be compatible with climbing helmets.
  • The long Velcro cuff straps are designed to fit over or under various glove types.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the performance of your GORE-TEX jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a warm cycle (around 40°C/104°F) with a small amount of liquid, non-powdered detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all traces of detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for about 20 minutes. You can also hang dry, but tumble drying reactivates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. DWR Re-application: If water no longer beads on the fabric surface after washing and drying, apply a DWR treatment (available from outdoor gear specialists) according to the product instructions.
