Rab Ascendor Light Pull-On

🏔️ Description

The Rab Ascendor Light Pull-On QFG-60 is a lightweight, stretchy, and low-bulk technical midlayer, designed for moving fast in climbing, mountaineering, and mountain environments all year round. The Thermic™ S fabric combines insulation and breathability using alternating strips of fleece with different loft, helping to quickly wick away sweat without adding unnecessary bulk.

⭐ The Mountain Group Review

It is one of Rab's most interesting options when you want a simple, highly functional technical midlayer. Compared to the Ascendor Light Hoody, the pull-on design reduces elements and keeps the essentials: mobility, breathability, low bulk, and harness compatibility.

⚡ Real Technical Performance

The 165 g/m² Thermic™ S Soft Fleece main fabric uses a striped backer structure to balance insulation and moisture wicking. It is combined with 136 g/m² Matrix™ Single Weave Softshell with a fluorocarbon-free DWR on the chest pocket.
