Perfect as a backup jacket for runners or day hikers. The Rab Phantom Pull-on is one of the lightest waterproof, membrane jackets in the world.
ThePhantom jacket will find its use especially with runners, it will be great for longer runs or as mandatory gear for ultra races in the mountains. But it will also work very well for casual hiking on shorter trips, when you don't want to lug around your heavy waterproof jacket and need to be sure to have it in your pocket when the rain comes.
Thejacket is made from 7D Pertex Shield 2.5L stretch material, which is currently the lightest material used in the outdoor market. Thanks to the stretch, it manages to minimize bulk when packed, plus the jacket doesn't restrict active movement. It is very packable. The low grammage material used makes it clear that the jacket will not be suitable for longer treks and multi-day backpacking loads. However, with a lightweight backpack, it can definitely handle it without a problem.
The Pertex used offers full weather protection and has a water column of 20,000 mm and a vapour permeability of 20,000 g/m2/24 h.
TIP: If you're on the edge between sizes, go for the larger size. The jacket is quite snug.
The jacket is geared to be as lightweight as possible so understandably there are no pockets and the zipper is half-size, but that's enough for ventilation. The hood fits very well, with an elasticated hem and a handy visor to boot. The sleeve cuffs are nicely extended and stretchy. The lower sides of the jacket are also stretchy and fit nicely on the body, but do not restrict movement.
The whole jacket can be packed into the included pouch and clipped anywhere by the strap.
