Rab Ascendor Hoody men's fleece

The Men's Ascendor Hoody from Rab is a technical hooded fleece designed to provide efficient thermal regulation during mountaineering, ice climbing, and intense expeditions. Made from Thermic G fleece fabric with a grid structure, this mid-layer masterfully balances warmth, breathability, and moisture-wicking capabilities, constantly adapting to the level of exertion and external conditions to ensure optimal comfort. The slim and stretchy fit is specifically designed to facilitate layering with other garments, making it the ideal ally for technical ascents in cold climates where mobility is essential. The snug hood is designed to be comfortably worn under a helmet, providing immediate thermal protection when the wind picks up, while the flat seams reduce chafing and increase comfort during prolonged use. Weighing 397 grams, the fleece features a longer back length to cover the hips and stay securely in place under the harness, while still allowing full access to the chest pocket and two hand pockets. The elasticated edges on the cuffs and hem eliminate unwanted drafts, while the YKK VISLON front zipper is equipped with an internal guard for maximum comfort on the chin. Choosing the Ascendor Hoody means opting for a technical, lightweight, and quick-drying garment that can accommodate every movement during the use of ice axes or progression on steep slopes without ever overheating the body.
