I was born to love hill walking and all things outdoorsy, but I was also born in Scotland, where you can get sun, hail, strong winds, and snow all within an hour. That’s why I’m always looking for a waterproof jacket that actually holds up in real weather, not just a light drizzle.
Recently, I’ve been testing the Rab Firewall Mountain Waterproof Jacket, and it’s proving to be a solid contender. It’s made from three-layer Pertex Shield, which gives you the holy trinity of hiking wear: waterproof, windproof, and breathable. At 15.5oz, it’s lightweight and packs down easily into a hiking bag.
