A go-to fleece for any mountain activity. Warm, soft and reliable, the Stavel Jacket strikes an effective balance between insulation and breathability.
Rab says:
This all-mountain midlayer is perfect for layering up on hikes and scrambles, or for wearing solo on high-energy ascents. It’s built with a soft, midweight, brushed Thermic™ fleece that balances warmth and breathability, ideal for pairing with insulation or your waterproof shell, or throwing on when the temperature drops.
Our Verdict
This mid-weight fleece uses Rab’s Thermic Soft Textured fabric, which is incredibly soft next to the skin, while remaining efficient at moving moisture away from the body. It provides steady warmth without overheating and works well under a shell. The brushed inner surface adds comfort for long days in the hills, while the regular fit layers easily over a base layer without bulk.
The deep venting centre zip makes temperature control straightforward on steeper climbs. The zipped pockets provide a comfortable resting spot to warm hand, but they could be a little larger.
The recycled textured outer fabric adds an environmentally conscious update without compromising durability. Breathability remains a standout feature, making the Stavel Jacket a versatile layer for year-round mountain use, from brisk autumn walks to winter layering under a shell.
