Double brushed fleece combined with stretch side panels gives a warm, ultra comfortable mid layer for active mountain days. Rab saysWith mid-weight fleece and Thermic stretch side panels, our new Capacitor Hoody is a warm, fast-wicking midlayer to keep you comfortable on active days in the mountains.The Capacitor Hoody is built from fully recycled polyester brushed fleece with a tough, attractively textured knit-face. Designed as a modern take on the classic 200-weight fleece, it provides the optimal balance between warmth and breathability for mixed mountain sport, alongside a fresher, lower-profile aesthetic for more casual everyday use. The new hoody also features slightly lighter Thermic stretch fleece panels in the sides, sleeves and hood. In addition to improving movement, they help create a much sleeker, more athletic fit for easier, more comfortable layering between a fast-wicking base and a waterproof shell.With a full-length front zip, unobtrusive zipped hand pockets, a secure chest pocket and a helmet-compatible hood, the new Capacitor Hoody is ideal either as a standalone piece or as a winter midlayer for high-tempo hill work.Our VerdictRab’s Capacitor Hoody uses a mid-weight fleece fabric to provide a warm layer for cold days. The thicker fleece fabric is soft and comfortable to wear, provides a good amount of heat and the simple but effective design works really well as a warm layer and for general, everyday use. The external fabric looks great with a subtle, woven style too.With a zipped chest pocket and two zipped hand warmer pockets this is a practical top to add to the everyday comfort. Once again, Rab have done a great job using recycled materials, giving this fleece some added bonus points in terms of minimising any environmental impacts.- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor GearFeaturesModern take on classic 200 weight fleece2 YKK zipped hand pocketsYKK zipped chest pocketStretch side panelsSpecificationsSmall weighs: 368gMedium weighs: 386gLarge weighs: 410gCentre back length:(Size L): 75cm/29.5inchMaterialsMain Fabric: Recycled knit face brushed fleece, 200g/mSide panels: Thermic stretch fleece with brushed back, 175g/mComposition: 100% recycled polyester with 94% polyester/6% elastane side panelsHelp & advice:Recycled Content in Outdoor GearRab Sustainability and Responsibility
