I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Borealis Jacket - Men's

Description

Why We Like The Borealis Jacket:

Tailored to meet the demands of big wall climbing, the Rab Men's Borealis Jacket is Rab's lightest softshell available. It provides wind and water resistance, stretchy mobility, and high levels of breathability. The lightweight Matrix 2-way stretch construction with DWR allows for unrestricted comfort while repelling light precipitation.

The low-profile, under-helmet hood has a Lycra binding for secure protection without compromising safety. The cuffs can be cinched tight to create a snug barrier against the elements. Additionally, the jacket offers built-in UPF 50+ to shield you from damaging UV rays in high-altitude environments, and it can conveniently pack down into its own chest pocket for easy storage.
