The Borealis Jacket from RAB is a slim-fit softshell with a hood designed for active men’s outdoor use. It strikes a balance between weather resistance and breathability, making it well suited to hiking, climbing or day-to-day adventures when conditions can change on the move.
Constructed from 85% polyamide and 15% elastane, the Matrix™ fabric offers stretch for unrestricted movement while keeping a tough outer face. A PFC-free DWR finish repels light rain and moisture without harmful chemicals, and at just 310 grams the jacket stays light on your pack. Sturdy YKK® zippers ensure smooth operation and reliable closure when the weather turns.
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating causes water to bead on the surface instead of soaking in, helping to keep you dry in drizzly conditions. Elastane adds the flexibility you need on technical terrain, while polyamide brings abrasion resistance. Together in the Matrix™ construction, these fibers deliver a softshell that balances protection and ventilation.
