Rab Ascendor Light Hooded Men's Jacket
A flexible layering system is key for fast-moving mountain ascents and fast-changing conditions.
The Ascendor Light Hooded Jacket is a low-bulk and adaptable midlayer that keeps you warm when you need it while wicking sweat quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable. Stretchy and slim-fitting, it drops low over the back of your hips and fits comfortably under layers or a harness. Ideal for year-round climbing, alpinism, and mountaineering, or for any activity where free movement is the highest priority, it provides you with that extra layer of warmth in high winds or changing temperatures. The jacket uses Thermic S fabric, designed with alternating stripes of high and low-lofting fleece, which allows it to insulate and breathe while minimising bulk, making this warm but highly breathable too. Flatlocked seams throughout reduce chafing and irritation for improved comfort, while elasticated bindings at the cuffs and hem provide a close fit that prevents the cold from entering. An under-helmet hood fits snugly around your face and offers a boost of warmth when the wind picks up. Completing the jacket and offering plenty of storage space, the jacket offers two hand pockets and a Matrix chest pocket.
