Rab Ascendor Summit Hoody – Technical Fleece for Mountaineering and Winter Mountain Sports

Description

The Rab Ascendor Summit Hoody is a technical midlayer designed for active mountaineering, alpine climbing, and mountain activities in cold conditions. Within the Ascendor family, the Summit version is intended to offer an optimal balance between thermal insulation, breathability, and freedom of movement during long ascents.

Its design is optimized for alpine movement, allowing you to maintain thermal comfort while wicking away moisture generated during exertion.

Real technical performance

In technical mountain environments, it is essential to maintain a balance between warmth and breathability. The Ascendor Summit Hoody is designed to retain heat during periods of lower activity and allow for excellent ventilation during intense exertion.

This makes it a highly effective garment for technical mountaineering, alpine climbing, mixed routes, and winter ascents.
