Rab Borealis Alpine Hoodie - Women's Plum, XS

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I grab this for technical days when I’m wearing a harness and moving fast. It blocks wind without trapping heat, stretches easily on the climb, and the chest pocket stays accessible the whole time. The under-helmet hood and packable design make it a no-brainer for alpine objectives."" We reach for the Borealis Alpine Hoodie when the route turns steep and efficiency matters. Rab refined their classic Borealis into an alpine-focused softshell that moves seamlessly with us on exposed ridgelines, long pitches, and fast summit pushes. It’s streamlined, breathable, and purpose-built for vertical terrain. The lightweight Matrix™ fabric offers wind resistance and two-way stretch to keep us comfortable on the move while regulating temperature during hard efforts. A low-bulk, under-helmet hood seals out gusts without restricting vision, while elasticated cuffs and a minimalist hem adjustment keep the fit dialed. Designed to stuff into its own chest pocket and clip to a harness, the Borealis Alpine Hoodie is an essential layer for fast-and-light climbing, mountaineering, and high-output alpine adventures."
