Rab - For the most extreme conditions in the world | Soft Shell

The Boreas Pull-on is a lightweight stretch pull-on designed to offer protection from the sun and the elements when in the mountains.

The Boreas Pull-on has been designed to offer fantastic sun protection when climbing or travelling in mountainous areas. The fabric does also offer some wind resistance but this does not compromise breathability and makes the Boreas a fantastic mid layer for both warm and cold conditions.

Rab sponsored athlete Nils Nielsen has this to say on the new Boreas.

The Rab Boreas was recently awarded a coveted Backpacking Magazine Editor's Choice Award

  Very handy piece of kit to have. It's extremely soft and comfortable. It cuts the wind well and has some water repellency. I always have this in my pack, whether it's summer or winter this is an excellent piece. My only complaint though, which is the same for any synthetic material is that it starts to smell after a couple uses in the summer months when I sweat lots. This is a must have piece.
