Product description
A lightweight waterproof jacket made of a recycled material
If you’re in the market for a lightweight, compact and versatile waterproof jacket for your next mountain adventure, then look no further than the Women's Arc Eco Jacket from Rab. It features two chest pockets, which you can also use to stow away the entire jacket. The hardshell is also equipped with an adjustable drawstring hood with a reinforced brim to optimally protect you against the rain. Another practical feature includes the underarm ventilation zips that allow you to quickly cool down when you need to. In addition, thanks to the hook-and-loop fasteners on the sleeves and the drawcord hem, the jacket will fit you perfectly.
The sustainable material will protect you from the elements
The walking jacket is made of a triple-layer Pertex Shield Revolve fabric that only comes from recycled polyester fibres, which is not only windproof and waterproof, but also breathable. As a result, it’ll transport moisture away to the outside with ease. The Rab Women's Arc Eco Jacket is completed by a PFC-free DWR finish to prevent moisture from penetrating inside.
The advantages at a glance:
- A lightweight, compact waterproof jacket
- The triple-layer Pertex Shield Revolve material provides protection against the elements

15.03.2026I would not recommend this jacket - not waterproof
I purchased this jacket to replace a 20 year old waterproof jacket as I was heading to the French & Swiss Alps for a trek and needed a replacement.
Prior to this trek, jacket was used on its first outing in the Irish Kerry Mountains. Rain penetrated the front of the jacket., which resulted in a mid and base layer getting wet. This happened again on a second outing in the West of Ireland.
I returned the jacket as its was not fit for purpose and subsequently sent back to me stating it was tested & met standards.
I was extremely disappointed. Only suitable for gardening in a light mist.
