The Cinder range of cycling kit from Rab is designed for all kinds of adventures on two wheels. Whether it's a quick lap of the local woodland trails or a cross-continent bikepacking expedition, you can rely on Cinder clothing to go the distance.
The Cinder Kinetic Waterproof Jacket is great for wet weather trail rides or winter bikepacking. It's made from Rab's soft and stretchy Proflex waterproof fabric which offers the protection of a hardshell with the feel of a softshell. What sets Proflex apart from other waterproof fabrics is its fantastic breathability. It keeps you protected from the rain without making you clammy inside the jacket.
The jacket is incredibly comfortable, thanks to a bike-specific cut. An over-helmet hood and drop tail shelter your face from the rain and rear from tyre spray. Minimalist features like the stretch-bound cuffs keep the weight down but there are still two pockets, one on the front and one on the rear, for stowing ride essentials.

The Rab Men's Cinder Kinetic Waterproof Jacket - Khaki Beluga has the following sustainability attributes...
Carbon Neutral or Climate Neutral brands have been third party verified as reducing their carbon footprint, often balancing their remaining emissions with carbon credits to support projects that are combating the climate emergency.
Fluorinated DWR finishes make clothing waterproof by repelling water droplets. ‘PFCs’ is the broad term for all fluorocarbon chemicals, of which PFOS and PFOA are sub-groups. Different chemicals in this family have a varying number of carbon atoms, so C6 has six carbon atoms and C8 has eight. While the outdoor industry has moved away from C8 (or 'long chain') PFCs, C6 (short chain) PFCs are currently unbeatable in their waterproofing performance. They're considered less harmful to the environment than C8, but they have not been proven to be safe. PFCs are known as forever chemicals; once created they will never break down and are harmful to people and the planet. To read more about the chemistry related to PFCs, head here.
PFC-Free DWR uses alternative, biodegradable technologies that repels water from the surface of a fabric - such as Fjallraven's Greenland Wax. PFC-Free DWR coatings are water resistant enough for most daily activities, so if you don’t need a highly technical waterproof, consider a PFC-Free garment instead.
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.
This brand partners with the Fair Wear Foundation (FWF). The Fair Wear Foundation is a clothing industry specific, non-profit organization that ensures sustainable, fair and safe labour conditions in factories. They work directly with brands, factories, trade unions, NGOs and governments to establish a living wage and a working environment that’s free from gender-based violence, discrimination and harassment. There is emphasis on a brand’s business practices and how this can make direct sustainable change, alongside factory audits and worker interviews.
