Description
<p>The Borealis jacket from Rab is the perfect choice for summer when you're looking for a versatile jacket for variable conditions that doesn't take up much weight or pack size when not in use. The light women's softshell jacket can be stowed away in its own outside pocket and finds a place literally everywhere. However, when the wind picks up or a shower is on the horizon, it is instantly ready with its Matrix™ softshell material. With effective wind protection and a water-repellent coating, the Borealis defies the elements but is much more breathable and comfortable to wear than a rigid hard shell. In order not to hinder its mobility, a 2-way stretch has also been incorporated, as you don't want to have to fight your own jacket on the via ferrata. The pockets are also set so that they can be easily operated with the climbing harness strapped on, while the slim hood fits comfortably under your helmet.</p><p>The Borealis is exactly the right thing to have on your summer mountain tour if you don't know what the weather will be like or if you need a light mountain jacket for higher altitudes. With its price-performance ratio it is a bargain among ultralight softshell jackets anyway.</p>
