Product Information

Full details

The Rab Ramshaw Hoody is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and warm midlayer for outdoor activities like trekking and climbing, or for casual everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing adaptable warmth without bulk, thanks to its soft, moisture-wicking gridded fleece. A potential caveat is its relaxed fit, which may be looser than some prefer for highly technical pursuits requiring a very streamlined silhouette.

FAQs

What activities is this hoody best suited for?

The Ramshaw Hoody is ideal for trekking, climbing, backpacking, and general outdoor activities. Its versatile design also makes it suitable for everyday casual wear.

How does the relaxed fit compare to a regular fit?

The relaxed fit is looser than a standard fit, providing more room for layering and greater freedom of movement. It offers a more casual silhouette compared to a close-fitting technical garment.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is contoured and features an adjustable drawstring with a cordlock, allowing you to secure it snugly against the wind.

What type of material is used?

The main body is made from 100% recycled polyester Thermic™ checked fleece. The panels are made from 88% recycled nylon and 12% elastane.

How do I care for the fleece to maintain its softness and performance?

Wash in cold water (30°C) with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or line dry, and cool iron if needed. Do not dry clean.

Can I wear this as an outer layer?

While it offers some wind resistance, it is primarily designed as a midlayer. For stronger winds or rain, it's best worn under a waterproof or windproof shell jacket.

What are the dimensions for the center back length?

The center back length for a size Medium is 75cm.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fleece feels less soft after washing.

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fleece fibers. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and the correct washing cycle.

Drawcords are tangled or difficult to adjust.

Gently untangle the drawcords. Ensure the cordlocks are functioning correctly. If a cordlock is damaged, it may need replacement.
