The perfect climbing crew to wear as an extra layer on cool mornings or long evenings at the crag, made with breathable, four-way stretch fleece.

Rab says:

Built with Thermic™ G, a 92% recycled, four-way stretch fleece, the Dihedral Crew offers a great balance of mobility, warmth, breathability, and comfort. Highly efficient when you start to push it, this grid backed fleece regulates your temperature and wicks moisture away from the skin. It has a refined, articulated sleeve design with an underarm gusset for improved arm lift and has been designed with a slight rise at the hips to allow for unrestricted leg movement. The cuffs and hem have a lightly elasticated binding to keep them in place and protect from the wind.

The Dihedral Crew has a casual style for everyday use, but it really excels on the wall. Ideal as part of a layering system, for warming up on cool mornings, or for pulling on at the end of a summer’s day on the rock.

Our Verdict

The Rab Dihedral Crew is a cross between a heavier weight base layer and a light fleece top as it offers a high level of warmth next to the skin but is also effective at wicking away moisture. Therefore it is suitable for a range of different activities from summer to winter use, and is a great part of any layering system. 

The grid backed fleece design is what makes it superb at removing the moisture as the channels between the squares allow the moisture to flow away from the body and not get trapped in the fleece, so I found that there were no damp or cold patches when stopping for a drink, and I remained warm without having to drag extra layers out of my bag. 

In terms of fit the Crew is fairly long so there is no risk of it riding up and allowing unwanted air to get in and t is more of a loose fit so offers a high level of mobility.  There is also a generous length to the sleeves so it is suitable for those of a longer arm and the stretch means that it is comfortable even if it is big baggy in the arms.
