When RAB, like Montane, switched from eVent to Gore-Tex waterproof lining, it was downhill from thereon. They both provided brilliant waterproof and exceptionally breathable jackets and trousers; sadly, no more.
It's true, they're awful. My wife and I had the Downpour Eco...both went back to the shop. Not just because of the wetting out, but the seams leaked into the draw cord and stormflap gullies...shockingly bad jacket.
Where does the Men's Kinetic 2.0 Jacket, Men's Kinetic Alpine 2.0 Jacket, and Latok fit in? Which RAB jacket would you chose for travel; city walking, light trail duty, and packable? Thoughts? I have lots of Fjällräven and ArcTeryx gear, but want something lighter, more package, but really waterproof. Does the downpour fit the same as the firewall? Thoughts? Thanks
Both .one and my wife's failed badly...everywhere. Wetted out, gullies filled with water. Stormflaps filled up. You could hear water sloshing about in them. Dreadful.
Thanks for sharing! Here's to getting out and exploring more this year, whatever the elements have in store

Zips are difficult to use. Also I was not expecting to have to rewaterproof the jacket after several times use, as the instructions state
Just bought the eco today😢
Very helpful video thank you very much !!!
Why are all the user reviews on Rab website talking about wetting out so easily for all of these?

Downpour Eco is awful. Do not buy it.
