This alpine-ready version of the classic, all-round softshell is designed with a sleek silhouette and purpose-driven features for high-altitude adventures. Tailored for use with a harness or backpack, it includes a chest pocket positioned for accessibility mid-climb and a hood that fits neatly beneath a helmet. Crafted from breathable, wind-resistant fabric, the Borealis Alpine Hoody actively manages moisture and helps regulate body temperature as the wearer ascends exposed, blustery terrain.
Features
The lightweight Matrix™ single weave nylon fabric offers two-way stretch, allowing unrestricted movement throughout the climb.
The YKK® front zip is finished with a chin guard to enhance comfort.
A low-profile hood with elastic binding offers wind protection and sits comfortably beneath a climbing helmet.
Elasticated cuffs provide a snug fit to keep out the chill, all without adding extra bulk.
When an extra layer is no longer needed, the hoody can be packed into its own chest pocket and clipped to a harness for hands-free carry.
A single-sided hem adjustment allows the wearer to tailor the fit efficiently, keeping both weight and fuss to a minimum.
