Men's Borealis Hooded Jacket

The Men's Borealis Hooded Jacket is a lightweight, highly versatile softshell built for exposed, high-energy days in the mountains. It’s the kind of layer that makes sense when your plans span more than one discipline—running, climbing, ski touring, or fast-moving mountaineering—because it balances breathability, wind resistance, mobility, and packability without getting in the way.

Rab uses recycled Matrix™ single weave stretch nylon with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, giving the jacket the quick-drying, moisture-moving performance you want on tough ascents and long traverses. The slim fit keeps it close and efficient, while the low-volume hood sits neatly under a helmet, the hem adjustment stays comfortable under a harness, and the elasticated cuffs keep wind out without extra bulk. It’s a practical piece that earns its place quickly, especially when the forecast or objective could go either way.
