Rab Men's Upper Body Measurement Chart

While all Rab garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker mid-layers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.

Regular Fit for Garments 

Designed to be versatile Regular Fit garments are not closely fitted making them ideal for cross-seasonal use and multi-layering. Regular fit garments are contoured, with room for movement.

Slim Fit for Garments

Slim Fit garments are designed to be worn closer to the body or over layers such as baselayers and light mid-layers. Slim fit garments are close fitting for maximum performance when moving dynamically.

Expedition Fit for Garments

Expedition garments are designed to be worn in colder conditions over more layers of clothing than our other fits and are oversized slightly to allow for this.

Rab Men's Torque Jacket, Top Pick Award, Outdoor Gear Lab

"The Rab Torque is an excellent softshell jacket for climbing and other mountain activities. Designed to be capable in alpine environments, the Torque is a trim-fitting garment that eliminates unnecessary features in favor of functionality. Best used on summertime routes such as the West Ridge of Forbidden Peak or the East Face of Mount Whitney, this jacket excels in rough terrain thanks to its durable fabric in high wear areas like the elbows. It's best when precipitation is unlikely; it breathes very well but does not repel water as well as other models."
