New - The Rab Men's Strata Hoodie

We're now midway through September and the Autumn's really starting to take hold. Darker evenings, colder mornings, but there's no need to worry when you've got the right gear at hand to keep you snug as a bug while your out and about!

That's where one of our newest products comes in handy, the Rab Men's Strata Hoodie. The hoodie utilizes Polartec's latest evolution in synthetic fabrics, Polartec Alpha. Alpha offers a unique combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability all wrapped up in that 'puffy' style of garment. Because Polartec Alpha insulation is highly durable and more stable than other synthetic insulation products, more open-construction woven face and back fabrics can be selected to create an air permeable package. This small amount of airflow rapidly draws moisture away from the body and allows Polartec Alpha to be worn in a wider range of activities compared to classic "vapor barrier" style insulation.


Spec wise the Strata Hoodie offers all the essentials and more. Two zippered hand pockets for storing smaller items way in, and of course keeping your mitts warm. There's also a YKK zipped chest pocket, which also doubles as a handy integrated stuff sack.

For extra comfort the Strata has a lycra bound hood which can fit with ease under or over a climbing helmet. Moving down, the hoodie has a hem drawcord that cinches snugly to keep the elements out. The Strata also uses an inner lining which ensures the garment has maximum durability and breathability.

There's a big initiative being launched by the guys at Rab, you can check out their Project Strata video HERE. You can also follow the initiative on Twitter by using the hashtag #projectstrata. Don't forget you can follow Outdoorkit as well for all the latest goings on, up to the minute news and competitions!
