The Rab Staden Hoodie knits a soft stretch marl fabric into a set-in sleeve construction, giving this lightweight midlayer real freedom of movement instead of the restriction that comes with a bulkier fleece. A low-bulk cowl hood adds warmth at the neck without piling on weight, so the hoodie earns its spot on a windswept scramble or an evening at the crag. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've pulled this on for evening bouldering sessions when the temperature drops, and the thumb loops keep the cuffs in place on the wall instead of bunching up every time I reach for a hold."
