Rab Borealis Jacket
All about this product
General
Inspired by the demands of big wall climbing, the Borealis Jacket from Rab is their lightest softshell, combining wind resistance, high breathability and a small packsize. Constructed using lightweight, stretchy Matrix fabric, it allows the user complete freedom of movement. Designed for use on long multi-pitch routes where the weather can be variable; features include a YKK front zip with chin guard, half hem drawcord and two YKK zipped, mesh-lined Napoleon chest pockets that ensure access even when wearing a harness. The perfect climber's piece, it's as at home on a windy crag as it is high up the climbing wall.
