RAB Baseline Hoodie

POLARTEC POWER DRY, CLOSE FITTING SYNTHETIC BASELAYER

The Baseline is designed to wick sweat incredibly quickly. Ideal for high energy activities the Power Dry fabric has a double knit construction, on the inside of the fabric is a fast wicking yarn that draws moisture from your skin to the outer fabric. The outer fabric is very quick drying allowing for fast evaporation.

The Baseline hoodie is best worn as a next to skin baselayer where the fabric can work at it's best but also works as a great lightweight mid-layer.

Thumbloops and the long cut sleeves provide great coverage for athletic moves, the hood is close fitting and will fit nder a helmet, and a zipped chest pocket is suitable for essentials.

Our Verdict

Polartec Power Dry is an exceptional material - its ability to wick sweat away from your skin is fantastic and its so comfortable to wear. The Baseline Hoodie utilises these properties, the internal face of the fabric has a grid pattern which enhances comfort and helps with that wicking action.

With long sleeves to accommodate thumb loops it's very versatile and would suit you if you're looking for something with longer arms than you normally find. Although this is a baselayer garment it has a deep chest zip and small chest pocket - so it works well when worn on its own, or indeed under a wind shell jacket. A bit on the heavy side as a true baselayer but working as a more general purpose garment it earns its place in your pack, or on your body.
