Rab Xenair Vest

Rab Xenair vest

This lightweight vest with synthetic insulation that adapts well to changes in intensity, pace and temperature. It offers warmth and breathability without bulky sleeves.

Ideal as a mid-layer or versatile outer layer, it's compact and built to respond to your performance, whether you're making your way to a frozen waterfall or transitioning from skins to skis.

It has an enhanced, highly breathable lining that wicks sweat through the system faster than ever before. Combined with mapped insulation and double-weight insulation, it keeps heat only where you need it. It keeps you comfortable and eliminates the need to change layers in mixed conditions.

Wind-resistant Pertex® Quantum Air material keeps you cool on exposed climbs, while the lightweight single-sided back hem adjustment lets you seal out icy winds.

Comfortable, semi-elastic armholes prevent underarm blisters, even when you're swinging ice tools and catching gear. Stash gloves, snacks or other essentials in the zippered chest pocket or two zippered hand pockets, one of which doubles as an integrated stuff sack with a loop for attaching to the harness.

The Xenair vest is a customizable layer that will serve you well on fast action to backcountry skiing.
