Waterproof vs Windproof vs Softshell

In this episode of the Rab Gear Guide, Rachael Crewesmith and Rob Greenwood discuss whether to buy a waterproof, windproof, or softshell jacket, the pros and cons of each, and how they can be used together.

Rachael was wearing the Muztag GTX and the Vapour-Rise Summit. Rob was wearing the Vital Windshell Hoody and the Vapour-Rise Summit.
