Arc'teryx Gamma LT vs Rab Kinetic 2.0

I only have the gamma LT but want to confirm, Yes, the jacket is very heavy. It is a thicc softshell for wintersports. I use mine resort skiing and ice climbing but not for much else.

But for $500, it’s definitely a souped-up option: The design is decidedly fashionable (as we’ve come to expect from Sweden-based Fjallraven), considerably more durable with a 60-denier polyester fabric, and heavier at 1 pound 0.6 ounces. Notably, the Eco-Shell also proved to be a lot more waterproof throughout our testing (Fjallraven gives it a 30K waterproof rating, which towers over the Rab's 10K rating). In the end, the lightweight and streamlined Rab is a better option for weight-conscious alpine climbers looking for a decently waterproof hybrid, but we’re big fans of the Fjallraven for shoulder-season hiking, skiing, and around-town use
