FAQs
What is Thermic fleece?
Thermic fleece is Rab's proprietary fleece fabric, designed to offer a balance of warmth, breathability, and low bulk. The gridded structure helps trap air for insulation while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
How should I determine my size?
The Ramshaw Hoody has a relaxed, roomy fit. Consult the Rab sizing chart for specific measurements. Consider if you plan to layer heavily underneath when choosing between sizes.
Can this hoody be worn as an outer layer?
Yes, it can be worn as an outer layer in mild conditions. However, for significantly cold, wet, or windy weather, it is best utilized as a midlayer under a protective outer shell.
Is this hoody suitable for very cold weather?
It provides good warmth for its weight and is excellent as a midlayer. For extreme cold, it's recommended to layer it with a warm insulating jacket and a waterproof/windproof outer shell.
How do I clean the hoody to maintain its softness?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach to preserve the fleece's quality.
What is the main advantage of the checked pattern?
The checked pattern is primarily an aesthetic feature that adds a casual, stylish element to the fleece, making it suitable for everyday wear in addition to outdoor activities.
Does the hood offer full coverage?
Yes, the hood is designed to be snug and adjustable, offering good coverage and protection against wind and light precipitation when fully secured.
Troubleshooting
Fleece feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece over time. Tumble dry on low heat can help restore softness.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric away. A small amount of graphite from a pencil on the zipper teeth can help lubricate it.
Hood adjustment cord is loose.
Locate the cord stopper and ensure it is properly tightened to secure the hood. Refer to the garment's specific design for cord stopper mechanism.
