Why We Like The Borealis Jacket
Tailored to meet the demands of big wall climbing, the Rab Men's Borealis Jacket steps to the plate as Rab's lightest softshell available, bringing along wind- and water-resistance, stretchy mobility, and high levels of breathability. Its lightweight Matrix 2-way stretch construction with DWR allows you to move nimbly upwards in unrestricted comfort while also shedding light precipitation in uncertain weather. The low-profile, under-helmet hood has a Lycra binding to secure your protection without compromising safety, as do the cuffs to cinch tight a snug barrier against the elements. Covering all the bases, Rab gave this alpine piece built-in UPF 50+ to protect you from damaging UV rays when you're on high and close to the sun, and designed it to pack down within its own chest pocket for easy storage.

Great, lightweight softshell
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
This jacket is sweet! Nice and light softshell material that resists the elements from water to wind. Packs down nice and small so that you can throw in the bottom of your pack and not even realize its there. I will say that this Rab jacket and most Rab products that I have tried on run a little small. I am usually happy in a XL or L, but I sized up in this jacket and I'm sure glad I did as the XXL fits me well. Update: I'm now on my second Borealis jacket. I find it a great lightweight softshell piece and mainly use it for ski touring.
