Product Insights & Style Tips
The Rab Xenair Vest sits at the edge of peak performance and easy-wearable cool. Ultralight, breathable insulation keeps things nimble on chilly ascents, while wind-resistant Pertex Quantum Air in 20D nylon with a DWR coating shields against gusts on exposed climbs. A highly breathable lining tempers heat as the pace rises, and body-mapped insulation delivers warmth where you feel it most without adding bulk. A packable silhouette keeps the look streamlined when the wind dies down.
Regular hip-length fit with semi-elasticated armholes lets you move freely from scramble to belay. It layers over base layers and under shells without bulk, and three zip pockets offer practical storage for small essentials on trail days. The core insulation uses 60g Primaloft Gold Active+ (55% recycled) at front, back, and collar, while the sides and spine get 40g PrimaLoft Gold Active+ (55% recycled) for balanced warmth and mobility.
Part of Rab's Responsible Collection, the Xenair Vest brings recycled materials into a streamlined alpine essential. The face fabric is Pertex Quantum Air with a DWR finish, the lining is 20D recycled nylon, and the insulation carries recycled content throughout. That mix of weight and warmth creates a versatile layer that transitions from windy ridge tops to everyday wear with a clean, technical silhouette.
