What is the Outpost Jacket?
The Outpost combines the classic, bombproof pile fleece with the modern Matrix softshell fabric to offer a fleece that can be used for a wide range of activities, from mountain walking and climbing to popping into town and lounging around the house.
What is it made of?
The main bulk of the Outpost is made from Polartec's 300 high-pile shearling fleece. This fabric is super soft yet incredibly durable and warm, making it ideal as a midlayer in super cold conditions or an outer layer when high wind and rain isn't a threat. Rab overlay their Matrix softshell fabric on the shoulders, upper back and chest for greater weather-resistance and durability (for example, when wearing a pack).
What are its features?
There are two zipped hand pockets, one zipped chest pocket and an elasticated hem, cuffs and hood. The beauty of the Outpost is its simplicity and durability, so it isn't loaded with features.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
It can either be used as a super-warm midlayer with a shell/softshell over the top or as an outer layer when simply using it for everyday duties.
