Product Information
Full details
The Rab Ramshaw Hoody is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and warm midlayer for outdoor activities and everyday wear. Its key benefit is providing adaptable, low-bulk warmth thanks to its gridded fleece construction. A potential caveat is its relaxed fit, which may be looser than some prefer for highly technical pursuits, though it aids layering.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this hoody?
The Rab Ramshaw Hoody is designed as a versatile midlayer for warmth during outdoor activities like trekking and climbing, as well as for casual everyday use.
Is this hoody waterproof?
No, this hoody is made from fleece and is not waterproof. It is intended to be worn as a warming layer, potentially under a waterproof outer shell.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart and consider that this hoody has a relaxed fit, allowing for layering. Consult the 'Specs' section for measurements like 'Centre Back Length'.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
As a midlayer, it provides significant warmth. For very cold conditions, it should be combined with appropriate base layers and an insulated outer jacket.
What type of activities is this hoody best suited for?
It is ideal for trekking, climbing, backpacking, and general outdoor activities. Its comfort also makes it suitable for lounging or everyday wear in cooler temperatures.
How should I wash and care for the fleece?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain the fleece's performance.
What are the main materials used?
The main body is made from 100% recycled polyester Thermic™ fleece. Panels are made from 88% recycled nylon and 12% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Fleece feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can help restore some softness.
Hood adjustment cords are difficult to tighten
Ensure the cordlocks are clean and free of debris. Pull the cords firmly and ensure the lock mechanism engages properly.
Pilling on the fleece surface
Some pilling is normal with fleece over time, especially in high-friction areas. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid abrasion from rough surfaces.
