Rab Men's Borealis Jacket

Inspired by the challenges of big wall climbing, the Borealis Jacket is designed to be the lightest softshell, blending wind resistance, exceptional breathability, and a compact pack size. Ideal for climbers, it performs equally well on a breezy crag or at great heights on the climbing wall.

The Borealis Jacket is crafted from lightweight, stretchy Matrix™ fabric, offering unrestricted freedom of movement. It is specifically designed for long multi-pitch routes where weather conditions can fluctuate. Features such as the YKK® front zip with chin guard and a half hem drawcord ensure adaptability, providing protection from the wind as conditions change. The jacket is equipped with two YKK® zipped, mesh-lined Napoleon chest pockets, which offer easy access to essentials while wearing a harness.

As the lightest softshell jacket, the Borealis Jacket combines wind resistance and high breathability, making it an essential piece of gear that packs into a small space.
