Klattermusen Ra Hood Jacket

To keep driving winds and rain showers from disrupting technical alpine ascents, the Klattermusen Ra Hood Jacket in Raven features a durable windproof softshell fabric engineered with natural water repellency. This protective technical coat resolves the challenge of trail abrasion and internal dampness by pairing lightweight tear resistant nylon with high moisture vapor permeability. Complete with a 3D adjustable hood, an asymmetrical full zip to eliminate chin chafing, and strategically elevated harness compatible pockets, it delivers reliable weather defense and long term durability across demanding mountain environments.

Key Features

• Tough technical softshell fabric provides durable wind resistance and high breathability.
• Water repellent surface treatment causes light rain and surface spray to bead off.
• Asymmetrical front zipper prevents zip stacking and skin irritation along the jawline.
• 3D adjustable hood features an integrated visor that moves naturally with your head.
• High placement zip pockets remain easily accessible when wearing a climbing harness or hip belt.
• Reinforced cuff bindings and an adjustable lower hem seal out cold air drafts.

At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Technical alpine climbing, ridge scrambling, and fast paced mountain trekking.
• Transition weather conditions where wind protection and high breathability are essential.
• Outdoor enthusiasts seeking a durable softshell layer that integrates smoothly with climbing equipment.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• Official sizing from the brand recommends an active technical fit cut close to the body to minimise wind drag.
• Klattermusen advises opting for your regular size for an efficient performance fit, or sizing up if you intend to layer heavy midlayer fleeces underneath.
• Articulated sleeve paneling permits unrestricted overhead arm extension without pulling up the hem.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on a gentle synthetic cycle using a mild liquid detergent.
• Fasten all zips and adjusters prior to washing to protect the technical outer fabric face.
• Line dry naturally away from direct sunlight or radiators to preserve the fabric membrane.
• Do not use liquid fabric softeners, bleach, or dry cleaning services.

Klattermusen Ra Hood Jacket - Our FAQs

1. What performance benefits does the Klattermusen Ra Hood Jacket in Raven offer during steep climbs? The breathable softshell construction allows sweat vapor to escape rapidly while blocking wind chill, keeping your core dry and comfortable.
2. Why does the main zipper run at an angle across the front? The slanted zipper layout stops the zip puller from pressing against your chin and reduces bulk when layering under outer hardshells.
3. Is this softshell jacket suitable for heavy rainstorms? It is treated with a water repellent coating for passing showers and drizzle, though a dedicated three layer waterproof shell is advised for continuous heavy downpours.
4. Can I reach the pockets while wearing a backpack with a waist belt? Yes, the chest and hand pockets are positioned higher on the torso specifically to remain clear of harness straps and rucksack hip belts.
5. How do I clean this technical softshell coat properly? Wash it in cold water with a mild liquid cleaner and air dry naturally without softeners to maintain its weather protective qualities.
