Rab Ascendor Hoody – Women’s

Introduction

Efficient and comfortable, this slim-fitting fleece hoody is perfect for winter adventures, mountaineering and alpinism. Built with over 90% recycled fabric, its body mapped for optimum performance.

The Ascendors body mapped construction is designed to adapt more efficiently to your output and the conditions. A midweight, grid backed fleece is zoned to the torso, hips, shoulders, and upper arms and a lighter weight, micro grid backed fleece covers the centre hood, under and lower arms, and centre back. These two fabrics work differently, wicking, breathing, and drying more quickly in the high heat areas. When youre working hard swinging ice tools, ascending steep slopes, or moving fast, the Ascendor is designed to regulate your temperature and keep you comfortable. So, you can keep moving, make progress without stops, and enjoy every minute.

The under-helmet hood fits snugly around the face and offers that extra boost of warmth when the wind picks up. Stretchy and slim fitting, its comfortable under other gear and fits easily under a harness with a longer length at the back to cover the hips. Low bulk and packable, its a dynamic layer suited to high energy ascents.
