FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
No, the Rab Nexus is designed for breathability. It provides warmth and moisture management but requires a windproof or waterproof shell layer for high-wind environments.
Can I wear this under a helmet?
Yes, the hood is specifically designed as a low-bulk, under-helmet hood that fits closely to the head.
What is the best way to wash this fleece?
Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the synthetic fibers.
Does it have a hood adjustment?
The hood is designed with a snug, elasticated fit to stay in place naturally without needing manual adjustments.
What material is it made from?
It is made from high-quality, moisture-wicking polyester-based Thermic™ G stretch fleece.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull.
Check for fabric caught in the zip guard. Ensure the garment is clean, as grit or dirt can cause friction in the zipper track.
Fabric appears to have light pilling.
Pilling is common with high-stretch fleece. Use a fabric shaver or gentle lint remover to safely restore the surface texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment requires no assembly. To ensure the longevity of the synthetic polyester fabric, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the wicking properties of the synthetic fibers. Always close the YKK® VISLON® zips before washing to prevent snagging. For drying, air-dry flat in the shade to maintain the shape and stretch of the material. The jacket is compatible with standard technical shells and is best layered over a base layer for optimal moisture management.
