Up on the fort in
Up on the fort in Dubrovnik on Game of Thrones walking tour, with a fresh breeze, the Nexus was just the ticket. Great fit and great for the warmth it offers. Sleeves on me are a little long but I like this as I was able to keep my hands warm as well. Easy to wash and dry. Versatile to wear with technical gear as well as everyday wear. Highly recommend this light weight and effective jacket, especially the hooded one.
Very disappointed by durability
I bought one of these last year, and love the fit and feel. Unfortunately on the first day out I ended up chimneying on Cloggy and the jacket came away completely pilled up all over the sleeves and some other areas. I accepted that this was a bit of a tough test, but now, I just caught it slightly on a door catch in the house, and it has made a hole in the sleeve, so goodness knows how it would fair on somewhere like Pembroke. I realise that soft fabrics can be less hardwearing, but this is described by RAB as "a hard wearing staple for any climber" - a better description might be "a soft and comfortable jacket for about town". This jacket is better suited to hill walking than rock climbing.
I have a number of
I have a number of Nexus jackets and have always been very pleased with them. Sadly this is made of much thinner fabric and is consequently much less warm. On the plus side it fits well and is true to size. A lovely colour and a slim feminine cut, but definitely not warm enough to wear in cooler weather without another warm layer on top. Recently I have layered it under a Rab pro stretch fleece and a waterproof which has kept me warm when out walking. It would of course be ideal for cooler summer days.
Hey Ann, Thanks for leaving your review! The Nexus Jacket has used the same fabric and weight (Thermic:tm:, 178g/m²) since it was launched in 2018. If you were looking for a warmer mid layer, I would suggest the Geon Jacket. Best, Rab:registered:
Love this fleece which is
Love this fleece which is warm despite being lightweight. The style is great and the arms are a great length for me. I’m usually a size 10 in Rab clothes but bought size 12 as I didn’t want it too close fitting. It’s turned out to be spot on. Great to have yellow available in a women’s top! The only reason for giving four stars is that the fabric has started bobbling a little on the outside already after a relatively small number of wears and washes.
Great fit
I've owned this fleece jacket for about a year. I've worn it mainly for climbing, bouldering and just general outdoorsy stuff. Some other reviewers stated that it doesn't hold up very well but so far mine is going strong, even though I've kind of abused it (it's certainly seen some rock!). I love the fit because it is tight and snug without being restricting. I always wear it on top of a t-shirt, sometimes wearing a down jacket on top. Considering its weight, it has some nice warmth to it. The only thing I don't like about it is its likeliness to get smelly. If I wear it for a day you can certainly smell the sweat a bit more than with other jackets (and I'm not a super sweaty person). My wish for the next version of this jacket: Outfit the jacket with anti-odor fabric or mix in some merino wool. All in all this still is my favourite fleece jacket, it would just be nice if it didn't catch on to smells so much!
Great comfortable midlayer
This is a great, comfortable midlayer that is warmer than I expected given how light it is (for which I am grateful). I can see it would also work as a baselayer as the inside is soft and comfortable next to skin, but I usually wear a technical T-Shirt underneath. It fits like a glove and has become a favourite to wear when I go hiking.
Disappointed
The first time I took the jacket out I folded it up to put in my rucksack and it snagged on the cord that draws in the top of the rucksack. I now have a jacket that's never been worn but has a big pull in it. Very disappointed, expected a walking jacket to be more hard wearing than that.
Thanks for your review. We make our Nexus Jackets as a baselayer or midlayer style garment, which is made with lightweight fabric designed to breathe well. The compromise with this fabric is that it's not quite as durable as a traditional fleece, and the weave can pull. We can fix this for you if you would like to send it in.
Perfect Hoody
I love Rab gear, this is the 2nd nexus jacket I have bought. They are incredibly warm, the warmest fleece I have. I love the hood. Sometimes when you are on a hill the weather changes quickly and hoods are more convenient than hat on and off. I only wish they did more colours.
I have bought it to
I have bought it to replace one I had to have cut off following an accident resulting in a fractured shaft of humerus. I loved my last one and was heartbroken when they had to cut it off. I can’t wait until I can wear my new one as they are so light and comfortable
Love this jacket, it's kept
Love this jacket, it's kept me warm these last few days, layered over my merino wool top & over my down jacket. It's close fitting so no bulging under jacket & so comfortable. I'm a size 6 & the 8 was perfect. Bonus the Nexus jacket is really lightweight.
