Rab Men's Quest Pull-On

Product Information

The price is at the upper end of the scale, however, as regards to keeping you dry, warm and happy I think these are worth the money if you go hiking regularly. The zip runs up and down easily without snagging. There’s also an extra piece of material inside that prevents drafts through the zip seam, I really liked this as it’s another way I can stay warm! Unzipping the hoody to cool off I was a little in love with this outdoor fleece, it literally felt like a cuddly blanket when I was wearing it, my friend also said the same whilst stroking my arm haha! I’m looking forward to wearing these hiking pants throughout winter. I’m going to be using these over my Berghaus Paclite ones in the colder months as I do tend to feel the cold once I’m up high in the hills. I wear lighter leggings or hiking trousers underneath so I can be comfortable hiking uphill when I tend to get a sweat on, knowing I have a lovely warm layer to put on top.

You have to pull to fit it around but once done you have a good seal around the hiking boot/shoe and the bottom of the pants. I’m not sure I’d take on a long-distance winter trip as it was a little heavy/bulky for what I prefer to carry. Although, I’m guessing most of you won’t be venturing off wild camping when it’s snowing at – that’s just me haha! Do you have any more questions about this Rab Hoody? Ask me in the comments below. Rab Firewall Pants Review About the Rab Firewall Pants I’ll start at the top and work down! The Rab Hoody has a lovely hood, it wasn’t too tight but fitted me comfortably and didn’t cover my eyes (small head issues!)It doesn’t work very well if you have a bobble hat on though – no surprise really. On cold days you might want a headband or beanie hat to stop the draft. Feeling cosy and warm with the hood up Would I recommend the Rab Pants? Rab Shearling Hoody – WinterFleece Review Hiking up to Whin Rigg in the Lake District About Cotswold OutdoorIf you’re the same as me, this Rab hoody might be what you’re looking for. It kept me cosy and warm on my recent Peak District walks as well as my wild camping trip in the Lake District. Here I will share my thoughts on this outdoor fleece hoody so you can decide whether it will be right for you. It’s a shame the pants only go up to size 16. It is suggesting that people size 16+ don’t go hiking but I’ve seen plenty out in the hills and I’m sure they would want to stay warm and dry too. There is also no option for a shorter/longer length leg. What do I like about the Rab Firewall Pants? I am mostly a size 10 regular for all hiking trousers and opted for a size 10 in these pants. They fitted well around the waist and hips, the length was also good for my height (I’m 5 ft 7 in), but they could be too long if you are shorter. A drizzly day but keeping dry with the Rab pants on Services vary but generally best for parcels under 10 kg, cost & compensation varies by service used

After my first outing testing out the pants on an autumnal 3-day trip in the Lake District, I was impressed with how they performed. There was no heavy rain to test them in (I was kind of happy about this) but as the temperatures dropped on the summits I was glad I had them as an extra layer. I also find it a really cosy fleece for working from home, sitting at a laptop not moving can get chilly and I love feeling snuggly and warm when I’m working. Would I recommend the Rab Women’s Shearling Hoody? It’s disappointing to see the sizes only go up to a size 16, I’d love to see more options available for ALL hikers.

Snag-free zip – another thing that stood out was the good zip, meaning you can zip up and down without it snagging on the material. You can tell this fleece a good quality product from the features and finishing touches, it is thoughtfully made for outdoor adventures. I’ve been enjoying testing it out on my walks in the Lake District and Peak District. As well as keeping me warm whilst I’m working at home (I have a cold house haha).

Under-boot cord – I’m really impressed with this feature, it feels similar to wearing gaiters. It even stood the test walking through water crossings, not letting the water into my boots. A big bonus!
