Deep Dive
Why We Like The Borealis Jacket:
Tailored to meet the demands of big wall climbing, the Rab Men's Borealis Jacket is Rab's lightest softshell available. It provides wind and water resistance, stretchy mobility, and high levels of breathability. The lightweight Matrix 2-way stretch construction with DWR allows for unrestricted comfort while repelling light precipitation.
The low-profile, under-helmet hood has a Lycra binding for secure protection without compromising safety. The cuffs can be cinched tight to create a snug barrier against the elements. Additionally, the jacket offers built-in UPF 50+ to shield you from damaging UV rays in high-altitude environments, and it can conveniently pack down into its own chest pocket for easy storage.
