Ascendor Light Pull-On

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A close-fitting and breathable mid-layer that works with your base layer to move moister away from the skin helps regulate your heat and is very comfortable to wear next to the skin.

Rab says: 

A flexible layering system is key for fast moving mountain ascents. The Ascendor Light Pull-On is a thin and adaptable midlayer, keeping you warm when you need it and wicking sweat quickly. It’s built with Thermic™ S to give you a lightweight layer that insulates and breathes very efficiently. It’s perfect for moving fast and vertical, with a deep front zip for extra venting if needed.

Stretchy and slim fitting, it’s comfortable under other gear and fits easily under a harness with a longer length at the back to cover the hips. Low bulk, packable and perfect for alpinism, mountaineering and climbing year-round.

Our Verdict

The Rab Light Pull-On uses Grid fleece technology to make a mid-layer, making temperature regulation much more effective in warm and cold conditions. The Grid Fleece allows for a highly efficient way of moving moisture away from the skin to prevent cold, damp spots. This, combined with a breathable Thermic G outer fabric, prevents overheating while moving.

The Ascendor Light Pull-On is a close-fitting garment that moves and stretches with you, so they are suitable for scrambling or any form or rock climbing. The cuffs and the hem are both elasticated to keep the heat in when needed, but if it’s starting to heat up, the front zip can quickly ventilate heat.
