With synthetic insulation and a Pertex® Quantum Air nylon fabric, Rab's Xenair Alpine Light Jacket is a multi-purpose mountain garment that is highly adaptable, lightweight and versatile. Perfectly balancing warmth and breathability, it is Ideal for autumn and spring adventures, any activity that involves frequent stops and starts and also helps avoid constantly having to zip on and off numerous layers!
The Xenair Alpine Light uses Pertex Quantum Air technology, which uses air permeability to hold warmth when you're static and allow airflow as soon as output is increased. This is engineered to offer maximum protection from the elements whilst remaining lightweight, soft and breathable. Pertex is also highly durable, meaning it is ideal for unforgiving mountain environments.
Rab's Primaloft Gold Active+ insulation mimics natural down to provide maximum comfort and warmth, whilst maintaining an outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio. It is also water-resistant and fast-drying and therefore perfect for the wettest and coldest conditions. It also features strategically placed body mapping technology, which is where different densities of insulation are placed throughout the jacket. There is lightweight insulation found under the arms, through the sides, and down the spine to help efficiently balance body temperature.
YKK zip-protected pockets provide safe and easy-to-access storage for your essentials or even a place to warm your hands up during colder activities.
The Xenair Alpine Light from Rab is your warm and weather-protected jacket in one neat lightweight package that is perfect across a range of winter and mountain pursuits.

Service from Absolute Snow and the reduced price made this jacket a good purchase. It is very light weight but keeps you warm once you get moving. The fit is true to size and it packs into its own pocket if you need to save space. A good autumn jacket that allows you to wear layers underneath and keep warm.
