Rab vs Arc’teryx: Which Brand is Better?

Rab vs Arc'teryx: Which Brand is Better?

Temperatures have dropped considerably in the past month and it may have caught some of you unprepared for winter.

Those with jackets from the previous winter season may be all well and good, but there are many others who may need to purchase a new one this season. In particular those who need a quality garment for their outdoor activities and adventures.

The same goes for gear and essentials for going out on a hiking trail, up a mountain or just on a camping trip. Pants, boots, backpacks, tents, sleeping bags etc., are all very important and must not be overlooked.

While it is true that you can get away with a more affordable product of a slightly lower quality the rest of the year, during winter you need to get quite serious about it.

But which product to buy is a hassle all in itself. Which brand to go for, which design, can all prove to be bothersome feats in determining what you will spend your money on.

That is why comparing brands and products is something we have put quite a bit of effort on, as we find it more useful than just focusing on a single brand to help you figure out which one you should choose.

With that in mind, over these past two years we have gone through numerous brand comparisons and we will be doing that once more today, where we will look at Rab and Arc’teryx.

Arc'teryx Alpha vs Beta Jacket: A Comparison

Jacket reviews are a helpful way of learning more about a particular design and understanding how the jacket you are interested in will perform.

In our opinion, jacket comparisons are an even better way of judging a jacket, especially when you are unsure about which design to choose.

In a previous similar comparison, we looked at two Arc’teryx jackets, Thorium vs. Cerium, in which we got to look at the specifics of both designs, as well as the similarities and differences between the two.

Today we will do the same for two other popular jackets by Arc’teryx, the Alpha and Beta designs.

Why is Arc'teryx so Expensive? Are Their Jackets Worth the Price?

Outdoor brands are numerous and some are comparable to each other in regards to how their products perform, their quality and, sometimes, their prices.

Why are certain brands so expensive and at the same time how come they are so popular?

We live in a time where fad brands that come and go are a dime a dozen and it’s always a bit surprising how high their prices are and how many people buy their products.

best Arcteryx jackets for winter sports

What is the best part of winter? Most definitely not the cold. What, then? Well, winter sports, of course. Skiing, snowboarding, mountain climbing and a whole lot of other sports that can be enjoyed during this season.

But in such weather conditions, wearing appropriate clothes is a necessity and sometimes it’s not as easy as it may seem. You don’t want to be cold, but you don’t want to wear too many clothes, either. That’s why jackets were made. Not all jackets are suitable when you’re climbing up a mountain, though, so that’s why sport jackets were made.
