Win a Rab Alpha Direct Jacket

Last week Rab launched Episode 1 of their new Commitment Series featuring the ever inspiring Libby Peter. Libby is one of only a handful of female mountain guides in the UK. She's been a cornerstone of the British climbing community for decades and her writing has guided generations of new climbers into the sport.

To celebrate the launch of the series Rab is giving away one of the flagship products - the Alpha Direct Jacket - which is dubbed as their most versatile and breathable insulated jacket.

Designed to be worn as an outer or mid-layer depending on the temperature, the Alpha Direct adds exceptional versatility to your layering system. A tough and reliable Pertex® Microlight outer fabric secures the insulation and minimises wear. Key tech features include an under-helmet hood, two-way zipper and stretch fleece cuffs.
