Rab Veil XP 20 Ultralight Running Backpack

Product detailed description

The Rab Veil XP 20 is an ultralight, water-resistant running backpack designed with a focus on maximum functionality, durability, and comfort during long runs in mountainous terrain. Compared to standard running vests, it offers a significantly larger capacity of 20 liters, making it the ideal choice not only for ultramarathoners but also for fast mountain crossings or one-day trail expeditions in challenging conditions.

Who is the Rab Veil XP 20 designed for?

This backpack is a great choice for anyone who moves quickly and needs plenty of space for gear without sacrificing comfort and stability. It is ideal for trail runners, mountain ultramarathoners, fastpackers, and hikers who prefer lightweight and efficient gear.

Thanks to its innovative design, it sits firmly on your back, doesn’t bounce, and doesn’t create uncomfortable pressure even during fast movement. Its carrying system resembles a running vest, which means the shoulder straps are wider and the backpack hugs the body to eliminate load sway.

Comfort and Stability

Ergonomically shaped shoulder straps with soft padding distribute weight evenly and ensure comfortable carrying even on longer trails. Adjustable chest and hip straps allow for a precise fit and ensure the backpack remains stable even during fast movement or technical descents. Thanks to innovative mono mesh and 3D mesh materials, the backpack offers maximum breathability against your back during active movement.

Maximum water protection

The main body of the Rab Veil XP 20 backpack is made from durable 40D ROBIC® siliconized ripstop nylon with a HydroShield coating, which provides excellent water resistance. The main compartment features a roll-top closure with taped seams, ensuring not a single drop of water gets inside. Thanks to this, you don’t have to worry about sudden downpours or wading through streams—your gear will stay dry and protected.

Practical pocket layout

The backpack is designed so that all contents are easily accessible even while on the move. Two spacious chest pockets are ideal for holding soft flasks, allowing for convenient hydration without having to stop. Smaller mesh pockets on the front are perfect for storing gels, energy bars, or other small items you want to keep close at hand. Side elastic pockets provide quick access to other essentials, such as a light jacket or gloves.

The 20-liter main compartment holds all the necessary gear for a longer trek, including waterproof clothing, food, and basic emergency supplies. In addition, the backpack is compatible with a hydration bladder, allowing for efficient hydration during longer trips without having to pull out bottles.

Folding trekking poles can be attached to the backpack in two ways. They can either be clipped onto the shoulder straps using a simple system or tucked into the deep side pockets.

Inside the main compartment, the backpack features a spacious pocket for valuables, etc., including a carabiner for attaching keys.

The Rab Veil XP 20 is a reliable partner for anyone who wants to run farther, faster, and without unnecessary weight. Whether you're preparing for a mountain race or your own adventure, this backpack will support you in all conditions!
