Rab Women's Borealis Alpine Hooded Jacket

This alpine-ready version of the classic, all-round softshell is designed with a sleek silhouette and purpose-driven features for high-altitude adventures. Tailored for use with a harness or backpack, it includes a chest pocket positioned for accessibility mid-climb and a hood that fits neatly beneath a helmet. Crafted from breathable, wind-resistant fabric, the Borealis Alpine Hoody actively manages moisture and helps regulate body temperature as the wearer ascends exposed, blustery terrain.

Features

• The lightweight Matrix™ single weave nylon fabric offers two-way stretch, allowing unrestricted movement throughout the climb.
• The YKK® front zip is finished with a chin guard to enhance comfort.
• A low-profile hood with elastic binding offers wind protection and sits comfortably beneath a climbing helmet.
• Elasticated cuffs provide a snug fit to keep out the chill, all without adding extra bulk.
• When an extra layer is no longer needed, the hoody can be packed into its own chest pocket and clipped to a harness for hands-free carry.
• A single-sided hem adjustment allows the wearer to tailor the fit efficiently, keeping both weight and fuss to a minimum.
