About the Rab Ascendor Light Hoody
The Rab Ascendor Light Hoody is a versatile full-zip hooded fleece that's an ideal layer for rapid mountain ascents. This thin and adaptable mid layer also ensures warmth as needed while efficiently wicking away sweat.
Constructed with Thermic™ S, it provides a lightweight and efficient balance of insulation and breathability, ideal for swift and vertical movements. Thermic™ S Fleece, a rapidly wicking and swift-drying synthetic fabric, proves highly efficient for demanding mountain activities. As the lightest member of the Thermic™ family, it features alternating stripes of low and high lofted fleece, enhancing breathability and minimizing weight for optimal performance.
When the wind comes up, the under-helmet hood provides that extra burst of warmth by fitting securely around the face. It fits comfortably under a harness with a greater length at the rear to cover the hips. Being stretchy and slim-fitting, it's very comfortable when worn under other gear. It is a dynamic layer ideal for high-energy ascents because of its low bulk and portability.
The Ascendor Light Hoody is made to control your temperature and keep you comfortable whether you're exerting yourself vigorously like swinging ice tools, climbing steep slopes, or moving quickly. Its slim-fitting design is built for athletic activities and enables comfortable layering under a thicker coat when it is really chilly. As a result of all this, you can keep going, advance without stopping, and relish every second as you adventure.
