Rab Ascendor Light Fleece Hooded Jacket
Lightweight Warmth for Fast Mountain Moves
When the pace is high and the weather keeps shifting, the Rab Ascendor Light Hoody for Women delivers the breathable warmth you need without weighing you down. Designed for climbers, mountaineers, and alpine adventurers, this lightweight midlayer works as part of a flexible layering system—keeping you warm during chilly starts and wicking away sweat as the climb intensifies.
Made with Thermic™ S performance fleece, the fabric uses alternating high- and low-loft stripes that trap warmth while allowing airflow. The result is a women’s technical fleece that insulates efficiently while minimizing bulk under shells or harnesses. With a slim, stretch-friendly fit and a longer back length for added coverage, the Ascendor Light Hoody moves with you through steep approaches, windy ridgelines, and technical climbs.
