Product Information
Full details
The Rab Nexus Hooded Jacket is an ideal mid-layer for active women who prioritize mobility and breathability during climbing, hiking, or general mountain exploration. Built with Thermic G stretch fleece, it provides reliable warmth while managing moisture during high-energy efforts, though its lightweight nature means it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a primary shield against harsh wind or heavy precipitation.

FAQs
Is the Rab Nexus windproof?
No, the jacket is designed for breathability and is not windproof. It works best as a mid-layer under a windproof or waterproof shell.
Can I wear this jacket under a helmet?
Yes, the under-helmet hood is specifically designed with a low-profile fit to accommodate a climbing helmet comfortably.
Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?
It is an excellent mid-layer for winter mountaineering, but you should always pair it with a suitable base layer and an outer shell for full environmental protection.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is made from Thermic G stretch fleece, a polyester-based material engineered for warmth and moisture management.
Does it have any pockets?
Yes, it features two mesh-lined zippered hand pockets for secure storage of small items.
Troubleshooting
The zipper feels stuck or difficult to move.
Check for debris or fabric caught in the YKK VISLON teeth. Ensure the protective zip guard is pulled away from the track while zipping.
Fabric appears to be pilling after intense use.
Pilling is common with fleece fabrics due to friction. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove surface fuzz, and avoid wearing abrasive materials over the jacket when possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup for this garment; simply ensure you have selected your correct fit based on your layering preference. Because it is designed for active use, the size Large provides enough room to fit over a base layer comfortably.
To maintain the longevity of the Thermic G fleece, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent.
- Detergents: Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the wicking properties of the synthetic fleece.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric structure, or tumble dry on a very low heat setting if necessary.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to ensure the fabric remains breathable and ready for your next excursion.
