Rab Women's Xenair Insulated Vest

Designed to adapt seamlessly to pace, intensity, and temperature changes, this lightweight synthetic insulated vest delivers the renowned warmth and breathability of the Xenair range without the added bulk of sleeves. Ideal as a versatile outer layer or a snug mid-layer, it’s compact and engineered to match your energy output—whether scaling icy waterfalls or transitioning from ascent to descent on skis.

The vest features a highly breathable lining that wicks moisture faster than ever, working with body-mapped dual-weight insulation to keep warmth where it’s needed most. This eliminates the need to frequently adjust layers in shifting conditions, keeping you comfortable throughout your adventure.

The wind-resistant Pertex® Quantum Air fabric protects against chills during exposed climbs, while the lightweight rear hem adjustment seals out cold gusts. Semi-elasticated armholes ensure comfort and prevent chafing during active use. Essentials like gloves or snacks can be stowed in the zipped chest pocket or hand pockets, with one pocket doubling as a compact stuff sack that includes an attachment loop for harness storage.

From rapid mountain ascents to backcountry skiing, the Xenair Vest is an adaptable layer built to keep you moving efficiently through changing conditions.
