Rab Men’s Xenair Insulated Vest Ebony

Adaptable, lightweight, and versatile, the Xenair Vest is a dual weight, synthetic insulated gilet that excels in mixed conditions and start stop activities. Featuring a highly breathable, weather resistant Pertex® Quantum Air outer and two weights of recycled PrimaLoft® Gold Active+ insulation, it has been engineered to hold warmth when you’re static and allow airflow as soon as output increases. Strategically body mapping the different densities of insulation, with the lighter weight insulation through the sides and down the spine, the gilet efficiently balances body temperature and eliminates the need to constantly change layers.

Optimised for action, the Xenair Vest has a lightweight YKK® front zip with chin guard for comfort. It has three semi-concealed, YKK® zip pockets; one on the chest and two front hand pockets, one of which doubles as a stuff sack with a harness loop (for attaching when it’s not being worn).

The perfect boost of warmth for all mountain action without the bulk of sleeves, the Xenair Vest will be your go-to layer for every season.

PrimaLoft® Gold Active+

Efficient synthetic insulation that provides just the right amount of warmth, breathability, and stretch to keep you moving fast and free, perfectly adapted to stop and start activites.

Pertex® Quantum Air

An open woven structure increases the air permeability of this highly breathable yet wind resistant fabric, perfectly suited to intense mountain pursuits.

Body Mapping Technology

We select fabric according to what you need at that precise location, whether that’s more stretch, protection or breathability. That means more efficient gear for you, your activity and the conditions, keeping you comfy from first step to last.
