Rab Stretch Neo Jacket HAS ARRIVED

Womens Rab Stretch Neo Jacket in Aqua £250
If you've been following our facebook page you'll know that there's been quite a sense of anticipation about the launch of the new Rab Stretch Neo Jacket. At last, it's here and available to view, try and buy from our stores. Out & About is one of the first independents in the country to stock this jacket so make sure you don't miss your opportunity to be in at the beginning too. The unique feature of the Stretch Neo Jacket is its use of a brand new fabric, POLARTEC® NeoShell®, the first fabric to combine the superior breathability, ventilation and stretch of a soft shell with the waterproof performance of a hard shell.

 If you are into diagrams, charts and videos with elevator music, Rab have put together some information on their website to explain the principles behind the fabric technology. Although the jackets are very new to the market, extensive testing in the field has led to some really positive reviews and awards already. We've been posting them to our facebook page as we come across them, including a Best in Test in Country Walking Magazine and NeoShell being voted outstanding product innovation for the outdoors in the last 12 months by the Outdoors Writers and Photographers' Guild. There's also an encouraging review on Outdoor's Magic that puts the jacket in context with some of its competitors in a really clear way.
