Women's Rab Ascendor Light Pull-on Sweatshirt

Product detailed description

Rab Ascendor Light Pull-On

Rab's new line of technical mid-layers, the Ascendor, features functional materials designed to provide the best balance of thermal insulation and breathability for all activities, not just mountaineering. The Ascendor Light Pull-On is the lightest model in this series. Since 2020, Rab has set a goal since 2020 to gradually develop sustainability and minimize our footprint as much as possible. However, this isn’t just some superficial “marketing” plan; Rab takes great care to evaluate recycling methods to ensure that it all makes sense. So, of course, the new mid-layers from Rab also feature recycled materials.

Thermic™

Just like in the entire Ascendor series, the lightweight versions also feature the proven, recycled "Rab" Thermic™ material, this time in a lighter 165 g/m² weight. Breathability and moisture wicking in this model are achieved through horizontal “wave-like” stripes on the inside of the sweatshirt, which alternate between sections with more and less insulation. The sweatshirt thus insulates through the stripes with more fleece and wicks away sweat through those with less. This material is therefore ideal for aerobic activities in colder conditions—it keeps you warm and, thanks to excellent moisture wicking, keeps you dry even during more physically demanding activities. 

Accessories

The sleeve cuffs and bottom hem of the jacket feature elastic trim. The hem is also "dropped," meaning it slopes downward from the torso toward the seat, providing protection for the lower back. The sleeves are equipped with thumb loops. The central zipper is a YKK, as is the zipper on the single chest pocket.

Usage

With its specifications, the Rab Ascendor Light Pull-On is the ideal mid-layer for cooler temperatures during high-intensity activities (running, cross-country skiing, ski mountaineering, cycling…). In spring and summer temperatures, it also easily serves as an outer layer for any activity in the mountains and outdoors in general. Thanks to its flat, low-profile seams, the sweatshirt can also be worn directly against the skin as a base layer.

At Nalehko, we also offer a hooded version: Rab Ascendor Light Hoody, or the warmer Rab Ascendor Hoody and the ultimate Rab Ascendor Summit Hoody.

If you're unsure about which fleece to choose, we've prepared a NALEHKO guide for you.
