Category: Men's Softshells

This lightweight softshell hoody from Rab is their best-selling and most versatile all-mountain softshell.  An amazingly versatile piece that is the perfect weight layer to put on when you need just a little more warmth and a lightweight short-sleeve or long-sleeve shirt just isn't quite warm enough.  Wear this as a windshirt, mid-layer, or outer layer for extra abrasion protection while alpine rock climbing.  Put this over a superlight puffy jacket for extra snag and abrasion resistance during cold weather activities when extra protection is needed but wearing a bulky or boardy full-on waterproof hardshell would be undesirable.  This jacket could go with you on virtually any mountain outing, anywhere, and any time of the year.  The low-profile under helmet hood is perfect to pull off and on to control your temperature as needed, and also works well over a thin skull cap or lightweight visored performance ball cap in colder or more blustery conditions.  Wind resistant and highly breathable, this jacket is a great weight for most of your hiking, backpacking, ski touring, and light and fast mountaineering outings.  It's also an extremely comfortable item for wearing around town.

Hannah ★★★★★

The zippers feel solid and glide smoothly, which I appreciate during quick layer changes on the trail. It's become my go-to for chilly morning hikes when I need just enough wind protection without overheating.

Hannah ★★★★★

Took this out on a chilly, windy ridge walk and the fabric cut the breeze perfectly without making me overheat. The hood fits snug under a helmet too, which is a nice bonus for climbing approaches.

Kevin ★★★★★

Been wearing this hiking in the early mornings and the hood fits perfectly under a helmet, plus the fabric breathes just enough to keep from overheating on the climb up.
