Rab Women's Xenair Alpine Light Insulated Jacket

When faced with shifting conditions and varying energy levels, this lightweight synthetic insulated jacket provides an ideal balance of warmth and breathability to ensure lasting comfort throughout the day. It is filled with dual-weight PrimaLoft® Gold Active+ insulation, which is strategically lighter in areas prone to overheating, helping to regulate body temperature effectively. This versatile piece can serve as a technical outer layer for swift summer hikes or perform as a warm, dependable midlayer in colder environments. Now updated with a more breathable lining, the Xenair Alpine Light effortlessly adapts to changing levels of exertion and temperature without the need to constantly remove or add layers.

Designed with upward movement in mind, it features articulated sleeves for climbing and scrambling, along with a helmet-compatible hood that fits close to the head for streamlined performance. Three zipped pockets offer space to store essentials such as maps or snacks, and the inner chest pocket doubles as a stuff sack, complete with a harness attachment loop. Elasticated cuffs work seamlessly with gloves, and a single-sided hem adjustment at the rear keeps cold draughts at bay during chillier outings.

With a new breathable lining and body-mapped insulation, the Xenair Alpine Light Jacket is tailored for fast-paced adventures where staying comfortable is key.
