Designed for alpine climbing, mountaineering, and ski touring, the Women’s Borealis Alpine Hooded Jacket from Rab is a lightweight, wind-resistant softshell that keeps you protected without weighing you down. Built from single-weave stretch nylon, it offers unrestricted movement, making it perfect for high-output activities in changing conditions.

The low-profile, helmet-compatible hood adds warmth and protection, while elastic binding ensures a snug fit around the face. A YKK® front zip with a soft chin guard prevents irritation, keeping you comfortable on long ascents. The zipped chest pocket is ideal for storing small essentials like a phone or GPS device and also doubles as a stuff sack, making the jacket easy to pack when not in use.

Elasticated cuffs and a dual-sided adjustable hem seal in warmth and block out wind, with the hem’s one-handed adjustability allowing for quick changes on the go. Whether tackling steep climbs or fast-paced hikes, this streamlined jacket keeps you moving efficiently in any season.
