The Rab Super Dru is a lightweight mountain shell in 3 layer eVent fabric. Light yet tough, this jacket is highly versatile, being suitable for all sorts of mountain based adventures.
Rab have given the Super Dru a facelift for 2010. It features reinforced abrasion resistant fabric for key high wear areas such as the shoulders and elbows. It is perfect for summer alpinism and mountaineering, but it is equally suited to trekking, mountain walking and adventure racing. Due to eVents superb breathability, the Super Dru keeps you comfortable and dry in a range of conditions, even when working hard. Its low weight and bulk mean its easy to pack and carry, a real bonus for alpine climbing and trekking. It has a fully featured, helmet compatible hood that will certainly be appreciated when the weather turns nasty.
All these features on a jacket weighing only 400 grams.

"This is a modern classic that is very hard to beat if you're in search of a functional, lightweight hill-walking jacket. The body is longer than similar jackets, which for my money nudges this ahead of the closest competition. A superb cut prevents the hem or cuffs from riding up too. A superb lightweight jacket for hill-walkers and backpackers that is hard to beat."

This is a great jacket for year-round use. It's lightweight yet has all the necessary features as well as a fabric that's substantial enough to feel protective in winter storms. On days of hammering rain and buffeting winds, I've remained dry and comfortable inside.

A cracking good mountain jacket in a very breathable waterproof fabric that neatly combines decent protection with very light weight. On top of that the cut and design are hard to fault with a neat, close fit and a well-designed hood that does an excellent job. It's really very hard to fault the Super Dru it's simply one of the very best lightweight mountain shells we've used.
