Rab Xenair Alpine Light Jacket
Lightweight men's jacket with an adjustable hood and water-repellent fabric, ideal for hiking adventures.
The Xenair Alpine Light Jacket by Rab is designed specifically for men and is ideal for hiking adventures in the mountains. This jacket combines lightness with functionality and features a water-repellent finish that’s perfect for changing weather conditions. The form-fitting insulation reliably retains heat and helps regulate body temperature, making it an ideal companion both in the summer and in cooler temperatures.
The jacket features an adjustable hood that fits comfortably under a helmet and ensures a snug fit with a semi-elastic opening and an elastic-gathered back section. The lightweight, center-front YKK® VISLON® zipper is equipped with a chin guard to provide additional comfort. Two side pockets with concealed YKK® zippers provide practical storage space, while the inner chest pocket—which also features a YKK® zipper—serves as a stuff sack for the climbing harness.
The elastic gussets at the cuffs and the pre-shaped sleeves ensure an optimal fit and freedom of movement. A one-sided adjustable back hem with an anti-pinch strap enhances comfort and protects against drafts. These thoughtful details make the Xenair Alpine Light Jacket an indispensable piece of clothing for active outdoor enthusiasts.
