"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I wear the Force Hoodie for just about everything—hot-weather cragging, long hikes, even travel. The Motiv fabric breathes incredibly well, dries fast, and the odor control actually works on multi-day trips. The hood fits cleanly over my hat, the seams don’t rub under a pack, and it’s one of the lightest long-sleeve layers I own."" We pull on the Rab Force Hoodie when we need lightweight coverage that keeps pace with long approaches, sunny ridgelines, and hot days on rock. Built from quick-drying Motiv single jersey fabric, the Force offers that perfect next-to-skin softness while staying breathable on the move—ideal for early starts, sweaty climbs, and full-day pushes in changing conditions. A close-fitting hood with a high collar adds dependable sun protection, and the flatlock seams keep chafing at bay when we’re carrying a pack. Twisted side seams and dropped shoulders boost comfort during high-mileage days, while hidden stretch thumbloops offer extra coverage when temperatures dip. From multi-day treks to high-output scrambles, this featherweight layer stays fresh, functional, and ready for whatever the trail or cliff throws our way."
