Designed for fast and light mountain adventures, the Rab Spark Jacket for women is perfect for fast mountaineering, climbing, trekking and adventure racing. It uses lightweight, waterproof and breathable Pertex Shield+ fabrics to give you one of the lightest, fully specified mountain waterproofs on the market. The stretch element of the fabric also means the Spark Jacket won't hold you back when you're getting ready to make dynamic moves on the rock.
Although the Spark comes in at just 267g, it certainly doesn't skimp on features - a helmet-compatible hood with a wire visor, YKK Aquaguard waterproof zips, 2 large Napoleon pockets (mesh lined to act as ventilation holes), plus adjustable cuffs and a drawcord at the hem means the Spark jacket is ready for anything you want to throw at it.

How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hip area.
While all our 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 midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
