Full details

The Rab Nexus Pull-On in Oak, size L, is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, lightweight mid-layer for dynamic outdoor activities like hill walking and trekking. Its key benefit is striking a balance between thermal comfort and breathability, allowing freedom of movement during strenuous efforts in unpredictable weather.

FAQs

What is Thermic™ G fleece?

Thermic™ G is a stretchy, breathable fleece fabric developed by Rab. It features a circular backer designed for improved moisture management, keeping you comfortable during dynamic activities.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Rab Nexus Pull-On is not waterproof. It is a fleece mid-layer designed for thermal insulation and breathability. For protection against rain, it should be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to Rab's general sizing guide for men's tops. The Nexus Pull-On has a regular fit, which is designed for comfortable layering.

Can I wear this for high-intensity sports like trail running?

Yes, the breathable nature of the Thermic™ G fleece makes it suitable for high-intensity activities where you generate a lot of heat. The half-zip allows for easy ventilation control.

What kind of base layers work best with this pull-on?

Lightweight to midweight synthetic or merino wool base layers are ideal. They work in conjunction with the fleece to wick moisture away from your skin.

What is the main difference between this and a full-zip fleece?

The primary difference is the half-zip design, which offers slightly less ventilation adjustment than a full zip but can reduce bulk and potential heat loss points. It also contributes to a cleaner, more streamlined look.

How much does the size Large weigh?

A size Medium weighs 252g. The weight for a size Large will be slightly more.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can help restore some loft to the fleece.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently run a graphite pencil or a wax-based lubricant along the zipper teeth. Ensure the zipper is clean.

Garment feels too warm during activity

Open the half-zip for increased ventilation. Consider wearing a lighter base layer underneath or removing the pull-on altogether if conditions allow.
