Rab Xenair Women's Vest

Product detailed description

A practical vest for aerobic activities in cold conditions, when we need to stop from time to time and stay warm—ski mountaineering, mountaineering, cross-country skiing, but it also serves perfectly as a versatile year-round insulating layer to enhance thermal comfort during any adventure.

Thanks to the use of synthetic insulation PrimaLoft® Gold Active+ in two different weights   (80 and 60 g/m²) and their strategic placement, the vest excels at regulating body temperature when you’re on the move and provides solid insulation even when you’re standing still—eliminating the constant need to switch layers. Heavier, warmer (80 g/m²) insulation is used on the front and part of the back + the collar, and lighter, more breathable (60 g/m²) insulation on the sides and a 10 cm wide strip running along the spine (this panel tapers downward and measures 6 cm at the bottom hem of the vest).&

As is typical for Rabu has been the norm in recent years, this model also features insulation made from 55% recycled materials. 

The proven outer material Pertex®  Quantum Air ensures perfect wind resistance. In addition to excellent wind resistance, its open-weave structure offers exceptional breathability, making it the ideal choice for active mountain use. The vest features two YKK zippered hand pockets, the left one of which has a two-way slider and can comfortably hold the entire vest when folded. The resulting bundle can be attached to a backpack or harness using a loop for easier transport. An additional hidden chest pocket is ideal, for example, for keeping a cell phone warm and extending battery life. The bottom hem of the vest is adjustable on one side.

The Nalehko range also includes the Rab Xenair Insulated Jacket
