Product Information

Full details

The Rab Stavel Hoody in Grey (Medium) is designed for adult males seeking versatile midweight fleece for year-round outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing comfortable, adaptable warmth suitable for everything from summer alpine climbs to winter hikes, with a regular fit that layers easily. A potential caveat is that while midweight, it may not be sufficient as a sole outer layer in extreme cold without additional insulation.

FAQs

What kind of activities is this hoody best suited for?

The Rab Stavel Hoody is ideal for trekking, climbing, and mountaineering, offering versatile warmth for year-round outdoor pursuits.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Stavel Hoody is made of fleece and is not waterproof. It is designed to provide warmth and breathability, and should be paired with a waterproof shell in wet conditions.

What makes the fleece 'midweight'?

The Thermic fleece offers a balance of warmth and breathability, suitable for layering or wearing alone in moderate conditions, without being excessively heavy or bulky.

How do I ensure the best fit for layering?

The regular fit is designed for this purpose. You can wear a thin baselayer underneath and a shell jacket over the top without feeling restricted.

Can this jacket be worn in winter?

Yes, it can be worn in winter as a mid-layer for insulation, combined with a warm base layer and a protective outer shell. As an outer layer, it is best suited for milder winter days or high-activity use.

How is the hood designed?

The hood is elastic-bound to ensure a snug fit around your head, providing protection against wind and elements without slipping.

What are the environmental considerations for this product?

The fabric is made with 68% recycled polyester, contributing to reduced environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Fleece feels less warm after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener. Re-wash with a small amount of technical fleece wash and tumble dry on low heat to restore loft.

Zipper is stiff or sticking

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Pilling on the fleece surface

Some minor pilling is normal with fleece. You can carefully remove pills with a fabric shaver or by gently brushing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The regular fit is designed to be compatible with various base layers and outer shells. It works well with most backpacks due to its set-in sleeves which minimize bulk under straps.

Care Instructions: To maintain the fleece and its performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's effectiveness.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the fibers.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron the fleece material.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry place.
