Our bestselling multi-activity softshell is back, now built with a recycled fabric and offering the unbeatable breathability and wind resistance you need wherever you face up to the elements. The stretchy Matrix™ fabric allows freedom of movement for tackling tough ascents, while drying quickly and moving moisture from the inside out when you’re working up a sweat. Lightweight, packable, and incredibly versatile, this all-mountain softshell is at home whether you're running a windy ridgeline, ski touring, or scaling a rockface.

  • Recycled Matrix™ stretch fabric delivers the Borealis Hoody’s iconic breathability and wind resistance.
  • YKK® VISLON® front zip with chin guard.
  • The low-volume hood fits seamlessly under a helmet.
  • Quick-access storage in two hand pockets.
  • The low-profile hem adjustment is comfortable under a harness.
  • Elasticated cuffs seal out the wind without adding bulk.

Perfect addition to the climbing kit

Purchased for my husband as present. He is super happy, fits well, comfortable to wear with the stretch. Light weight and compact to keep in the climbing pack. Perfect for windy days.

Exactly what I was looking for

Lightweight, stretchy, wind blocking layer -more breathable than my hard shell but still cuts wind chill fairly effectively

My favourite adventure softshell

It's the Goldilocks problem - sometimes, it isn't too cold and it isn't too hot either. A fleece is too much, and a base layer isn't enough. I reckon that's the magic gap for the Borealis.

I chuck it in my bag for basically every adventure - rock climbing, alpine trips, day hikes, surf mission. Great wind resistance, not really waterproof. Perfect in a southerly in Wellington or when that colder wind whips up in the mountains. 10/10
