What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:

"This jacket is designed for vertical movement. The Matrix™ softshell fabric offers just the right balance of wind resistance and breathability, keeping me comfortable as I push for the summit. The under-helmet hood is a key feature for exposed faces, and I love how the whole jacket stuffs into its own pocket—perfect for clipping to my harness when the sun comes out. The slim fit works well under a shell, making this a go-to for lightweight alpine layering."

When climbing into exposed alpine terrain, we need a jacket that’s as light and efficient as our approach. The Borealis Alpine Hooded Jacket is designed for vertical pursuits, balancing wind resistance, breathability, and unrestricted movement. Built with Rab’s Matrix™ softshell fabric, it blocks biting gusts while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape, keeping us comfortable as we push upward.

Designed with climbers in mind, this softshell features a low-profile, under-helmet hood and a harness-compatible chest pocket for easy access to essentials mid-ascent. Elasticated cuffs and a single-sided hem adjustment ensure a streamlined fit, while the YKK front zip with a chin guard provides extra protection against wind chill. When the temperature rises, the Borealis Alpine stuffs into its own pocket, clipping easily to our harness for hands-free carrying. Whether scaling alpine ridges or fast-moving through technical terrain, this jacket is built to move with us.

Lightweight and harness-compatible, this alpine-ready softshell keeps wind at bay on technical climbs (DWGC3VX)
