Rab Women's Xenair Alpine Jacket

Product Insights & Style Tips

Rab brings alpine resolve to a piece that feels as at home on a windy ridge as it does in a city breeze. The Xenair Alpine Jacket balances technical heft with a clean, contemporary silhouette, wrapped in 20D Pertex Quantum Air fabric that shrugs off spray and breathes with your microclimate. A soft, efficient insulation layer delivers warmth even when conditions turn damp, while still drying quickly after a chill wind or a wet ascent. The overall look reads purposefully rugged with a touch of finish that keeps the line sleek and wearable from belay to basecamp.

Every detail is tuned for real mountain days: a helmet-ready hood, cuffs that cinch over gloves, and a cinchable drop-tail hem to trap heat when you pause to plan your next move. The regular fit sits smoothly over base layers and mid-layers, offering room to move without bulk, and the hip-length cut keeps layers neatly in place as you scramble or stroll. It’s the kind of piece that holds warmth when you’re still, yet performs with confidence at speed and exposure.

Rab’s Responsible Collection emphasizes recycled and repurposed materials, so this Xenair Alpine Jacket feels as responsible as it looks. It pairs with fleece layers and soft-shells for a cohesive alpine uniform, or stands strong as a single-wleece shell when you want lean, streamlined outdoor style any season. A true go-to for climbers and weekend hikers who want reliable warmth without sacrificing mobility.
