Double brushed fleece combined with stretch side panels gives a warm, ultra comfortable mid layer for active mountain days.
Rab says
With its versatile mid-weight fleece and Thermic™ stretch side panels, our new Women’s Capacitor Hoody is built to help you embrace the trail.
As part of our Hike range, the Women’s Capacitor Hoody is a fast-wicking stretch fleece midlayer, designed to keep you comfortable during fast-paced winter hikes, hut-to-hut treks and camping adventures. It is built from recycled brushed fleece with a tough, textured knit-face and slightly lighter Thermic™ stretch panels in the sides, sleeves and hood. This generates not just excellent warmth and breathability but also plenty of movement for high-tempo sport and a sleek fit for comfortable low-bulk layering. Designed as a fresh interpretation of the classic 200-weight fleece, it comes with a secure chest pocket and low-profile zipped hand pockets that sit comfortably beneath a backpack.
With its fast-drying, easy-care properties, its robust knit-face finish and its tailored fit, our new Women’s Capacitor Hoody is highly practical both as an everyday warmth boost and as a reliable winter midlayer for high-energy mountain sport.
Our Verdict
Rab's Womens Capacitor Hoody uses a mid-weight fleece fabric to provide a warm layer for cold days. The thicker fleece fabric is soft and comfortable to wear, provides a good amount of heat and the simple but effective design works really well as a warm layer and for general, everyday use. The external fabric looks great with a subtle, woven style too.
With a zipped chest pocket and two zipped hand warmer pockets this is a practical top to add to the everyday comfort. Once again, Rab have done a great job using recycled materials, giving this fleece some added bonus points in terms of minimising any environmental impacts.
