September 15, 2025

New Midlayer Available Beginning This Fall, Ideal For Cold Weather Adventures

Louisville, CO (Sept. 15, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Rab, the industry leader in merging the development of quality outdoor gear and apparel with sustainability and environmental awareness, added another accolade today as Backcountry Magazine honored the company’s new Women’s Ascendor Summit Hoody with an Editors’ Choice award.

The Womern’s Ascendor Summit Hoody is the ideal piece for cold/winter adventures. With body-mapped fabrics that offer warmth, is wind-resistant and provides wicking when you need it. It has a highly breathable PrimaLoft® Evolve lining with added protection with Pertex® Quantum Air overlays. The Ascendor Summit Hoody is the perfect active insulation that adapts to any vertical cold weather mission.

“This layer will be a go-to over a light wool shirt on milder ski days and a great layer to have on hand for hiking/biking when the wind picks up,” Backcountry Magazine testers said. “The perfect amount of warmth and windproof.”

Soft, gridded Thermic™ G has been placed in areas of the Women’s Ascendor Summit Hoody where you need minimum bulk and maximum mobility, such as the underarms, sides, and hood. The result is active insulation that adapts to any vertical mission, from winter climbing and alpinism to ski touring.
