What is the Borealis Hooded Jacket?
It's a highly versatile, lightweight, softshell jacket that's ideal for all manner of mountain pursuits from hiking to climbing. Wind-resistant, breathable and stretchy, the jacket moves with you throughout your adventure, keeping you comfortably protected so you can focus on enjoying every moment.
What is it made from?
The Borealis Hooded Jacket is created from single weave stretch nylon which is a super lightweight stretchy softshell fabric with fantastic freedom of movement for versatile use across the seasons.
Matrix™ is a specialised line of softshell fabrics selected by Rab for their unique performance qualities. Matrix™ single weave stretch nylon comprises polyamide and elastane and is wind-resistant, air-permeable and offers excellent levels of breathability. This comfortable material also provides UPF protection to shield your skin from sun exposure. It's also exceptionally light and stretchy, offering unhindered movement for climbing and scrambling in warm climates.
What are its features?
A low profile under the helmet hood provides light warmth and protection from the elements, while elastic binding to the edges creates a snug fit around the face. The Borealis features a simple YKK® front zip with a soft chin guard to avoid discomfort around the face or neck when fully zipped.
For storage, you'll find two YKK® zipped hand pockets for keeping essentials such as a mobile phone, trail snacks and a GPS device close to hand. Elasticated cuffs and a dual-sided adjustable bottom hem create the optimum fit over various layers, helping to trap warm air inside the jacket and cold winds out. The bottom hem can be easily adjusted with one hand on the go, meaning you don't have to stop to faff with the hem if it's getting a bit blustery.
The jacket is created with a slim fit, which sits close to the body for optimum thermal efficiency and lower-bulk for comfort during fast-moving activities.
