Rab Men's Ascendor Summit Full Zip Hoody

This lightweight, breathable, and highly insulating fleece hoody is engineered to meet the specific challenges of winter climbing, ensuring optimal temperature regulation on demanding ascents. Designed with body-mapped fabrics, it provides wind and cold protection in exposed areas while allowing breathability in high-heat zones. Moisture-wicking properties keep the wearer dry and comfortable, even when pushing physical limits.

Every detail is crafted with vertical movement in mind. The streamlined waist sits neatly beneath a harness, while the under-helmet hood offers additional coverage without bulk. A zipped chest pocket remains easily accessible when wearing a harness, making it the perfect place to store essentials such as snacks or a guide. Elasticated cuffs and hem create a snug fit to retain warmth, while integrated thumb loops prevent sleeves from riding up, particularly when arms are extended for long periods.

Finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, the Ascendor Summit Hoody FZ is an advanced, low-profile technical layer designed for fast and light pursuits in challenging winter conditions.
