Move hard. Stay warm.

Technical alpine routes push through moments of maximum effort and cold stances in quick succession, and standard insulated layers rarely handle both ends well. The Rab Women’s Xenair Alpine Light Jacket solves this problem in a women's-specific cut with dual-weight body-mapped PrimaLoft Gold Active+ insulation, placing 60gsm through the front, back, and high-heat-loss zones and 40gsm through the sides, underarms, spine, and top of the hood where breathability matters most. A 20D Pertex Quantum Air shell at 47gsm keeps the jacket featherweight and weather-resistant, and a 20D recycled nylon lining adds comfort from the inside. An under-helmet hood with a semi-elasticated opening fits cleanly over a climbing helmet, and a YKK VISLON centre front zip with chin guard handles temperature with precision. The packaway chest pocket with harness attachment loop keeps the jacket accessible on route. Shop the Women’s Xenair Alpine Light Jacket today and layer smarter.
