The Xenair Vest, a marvel of adaptability, lightness, and versatility, stands out as a dual-weight synthetic insulated gilet tailored for excellence in diverse conditions and activities with frequent pauses. Its outer layer boasts the remarkable combination of breathability and weather resistance, thanks to the Pertex Quantum Air fabric, while the recycled PrimaLoft Gold Active+ insulation, in two carefully chosen weights, ensures optimal temperature management—retaining warmth during still moments and facilitating airflow when activity surges. The strategic body mapping of insulation, with lighter densities along the sides and spine, adeptly balances body temperature, eliminating the need for constant layer adjustments.
Designed for action, the Xenair Vest features a lightweight YKK front zip with a chin guard for added comfort. The inclusion of three semi-concealed YKK zip pockets—one on the chest and two on the front—provides practical storage, with one front pocket doubling as a stuff sack equipped with a harness loop for convenient attachment when not in use.

The Rab story began in 1981 in the attic of a small, terraced house in Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. Hand-stitched and devised with his own ingenious eye, Rab's experience from years spent in the mountains was apparent in his designs, and soon there was popular demand from Rab's friends and the growing local climbing community. Now, decades later, those honest, hard-wearing designs can be found all over the world; wherever adventurous individuals face up to the elements. From Himalayan peaks to cold, crisp evenings around a camp fire. This began as the brand's story, but it also belongs to those who've loved and cared for each and every one of our products. Who've made them their companions on long trips and expeditions.
