The Rab Stavel Hooded Fleece Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a versatile midlayer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is balancing warmth and breathability for comfort during high-energy pursuits, though it may not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in extreme cold.

FAQs
What is Thermic fleece?
Thermic fleece is a proprietary fabric developed by Rab, designed to offer a balance of warmth, breathability, and durability for active outdoor use.
Can this jacket be worn as an outer layer?
It can be worn as an outer layer in mild, dry conditions. However, it is primarily designed as a midlayer and may not provide adequate protection against significant wind or rain.
Is the hood adjustable?
The product description does not specify if the hood is adjustable, but typically hooded fleeces offer a snug fit.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and other high-energy outdoor activities where managing warmth and breathability is key.
How should I care for my fleece jacket?
Machine wash cold with similar colors, use a mild detergent, and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What are the available sizes and colors?
This specific product listing is for a Blue XL size. Other sizes and colors like Black are available in the Rab Stavel Hooded Fleece Jacket range.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels less breathable over time.
Wash the garment with a technical fleece wash or a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Ensure it's rinsed thoroughly.
Zipper is stiff or snagging.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or lip balm to the zipper track if needed.
Pilling or fuzz forming on the surface.
This is normal for brushed fleece. You can gently remove minor pilling with a fabric shaver, but avoid excessive use which can damage the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No specific setup is required; the jacket is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure the correct size is chosen for optimal layering.
Compatibility: This fleece is designed as a midlayer and pairs well with a variety of outer shells, including waterproof jackets and insulated parkas. It is suitable for layering over base layers made of merino wool or synthetic materials.
Care: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can reduce the fleece's breathability. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron or bleach.
