Rab’s Geon Full Zip sits in the brand’s midlayer range, competing with everyday fleeces from the likes of Patagonia and The North Face. It’s the sort of layer you pull on for cool mornings, hut life, or as a warm midlayer under a shell when the weather turns. Rab tends to focus on mountain use, so expect a fit and feel aimed at moving comfortably rather than lounging around.
Who is this fleece for?
Pick it if you want a full zip fleece that’s quick to vent on steep climbs and simple to layer over a base layer. The full length zip also makes it easier to regulate temperature when you stop and start, and it’s less faff than a half zip when you’re wearing gloves. If you run cold, it works well as a daily throw on that still looks at home on the hill.
