This is the alpine adaptation of the classic all-rounder softshell, reimagined with a sleek silhouette and carefully chosen features tailored for technical ascents. It is purpose-built for use with a harness or backpack, featuring a chest pocket that remains accessible mid-climb and a hood designed to sit neatly beneath a helmet. Crafted from breathable, wind-resistant fabric, the Borealis Alpine Hoody efficiently manages moisture and helps regulate body temperature while scaling exposed, blustery terrain.
Features
The lightweight Matrix™ single weave nylon provides two-way stretch, granting unrestricted movement on steep climbs.
A YKK® front zip is fitted with a chin guard for added comfort during long wear.
The hood is low in bulk with an elasticated binding, offering wind protection and a secure fit beneath a helmet.
Elasticated cuffs deliver a snug seal against the wind without adding excess material.
When an extra layer is no longer needed, the hoody packs neatly into its own chest pocket and can be clipped to a harness for convenience.
A single-sided hem adjustment allows for a personalised fit while keeping weight to a minimum.
