Product Information

Full details

The Rab Fleece Jacket in Blue is designed for adult females engaged in mountaineering, climbing, and trekking. Its key benefit is providing lightweight warmth with excellent mobility and moisture management, while a potential caveat is its regular fit, which may not suit all body types. This active fleece is constructed from a recycled polyester and elastane blend, offering full freedom of movement and efficient moisture wicking. It features an under-helmet hood for wind protection, flatlock seams for comfortable layering, a YKK Vislon front zip, and two mesh-lined hand pockets.

FAQs

What activities is this fleece jacket best suited for?

It is designed for mountaineering, climbing, and trekking, providing warmth and mobility during high-exertion activities.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is designed for a snug, under-helmet fit and is not explicitly described as adjustable beyond its intended close fit.

How should I wash the fleece jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What is the main material composition?

The jacket is made from a blend of 94% recycled polyester and 6% elastane.

Does it offer wind protection?

While not a windproof jacket, the dense fleece material and the snug-fitting hood offer a good level of wind resistance for active pursuits.

What is the 'regular fit'?

A regular fit is a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, designed to allow for comfortable layering.

Are the pockets insulated?

The jacket features two mesh-lined hand pockets. These are primarily for storage and light hand warming, not heavily insulated.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or snagging

Gently work the zipper up and down. Clean any debris from the teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fleece material feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece performance. Air dry instead of tumble drying on high heat.

Seams feel uncomfortable or irritating

Ensure the garment is worn with the correct base layer underneath. Flatlock seams are designed for comfort, but if irritation persists, it may be due to personal sensitivity or fit.
