Rab Men's Xenair Alpine Jacket

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Rab Xenair Alpine Jacket reads like a high country must-have: ready for brisk alpine starts and nimble ascents, with a breathable warmth that never feels overbuilt. The shell is a wind-resistant Pertex Quantum Air, light and airy to let internal moisture escape, while the body-mapped PrimaLoft Gold Active+ insulation delivers warmth where you move and cools where you don’t. A helmet-friendly hood and articulated sleeves keep the line unrestrictive for overhead climbs, and the recycled nylon lining adds a quiet, silky feel against the skin.

It sits at hip length in a regular fit that layers smoothly over midlayers or under a shell, with belay-friendly zips and mitt-friendly adjustments that feel practical in harsh weather. The Xenair’s construction is all about steady heat balance as you transition from belay to ascent to descent, offering warmth without bulk and airflow when you’re pushing hard. The result is a versatile alpine piece that handles fast moves, icy belays, and long approaches with equal ease.

Rab’s Responsible Collection ethos is evident in the recycled face fabric and linings, aligning with the brand’s commitment to performance without compromising planet-friendly design. The Xenair Alpine Jacket channels Rab’s mountain-ready DNA—tuned for climbers, skiers, and mountaineers who value a piece that keeps pace with changing conditions and keeps you moving with confidence.
