RAB Alpha Flash Jacket

CORE

The RAB Alpha Flash polar fleece never leaves our packs! Rolled up in a ball, it’s always ready for action. It has several advantages. Its weight/heat ratio at 250g in size L, it is lightweight and perfect for wearing going up a mountain.

 

The Polartec® Alpha provides good warmth for those who like to move fast. It is neither too warm nor too thin. When you are working up a sweat – you don’t with this fleece, it keeps you warm but you don’t overheat in the action, and of course an outer layer is needed to protect you from the wind and rain, and an insulated jacket against very cold temperatures.

 

The Polartec® is soft against the skin, slightly stretchy to leave movements free without excessive deformation. The arm pits have panels made from different material to encourage good breathability and even more liberty. The elbows are protected.

 

The wrists are elasticated and comfortable and easy to put over a large sports watch. The neck is not too high but it is protected and is comfortable and soft. This fleece isn’t too bulky and so wearing a coat on top is comfortable. The zip end is protected by a cover and so you don’t feel it against your skin.

 

The zip slides well. On the right hand side there’s a small cord for waist adjustment – a quick tug with one hand and you can adjust the waist. Ultra-practical. Do remember to slide the excess cord underneath otherwise it’ll knock gently against your thigh.

 

There is a small breast pocket practical for small and light objects. The RAB Alpha Flash dries fast and wards off smells effectively. We liked its fitted cut.

 

Designed for outdoor action, this RAB Alpha Flash won us over. A perfect mix of know-how; RAB and Polartec®. For all outdoor addicts: mountaineers, climbers, hikers, ski tourers, skiers, the list goes on! This logically wins the CORE Award.
