This lightweight synthetic insulation vest expertly adapts to changes in intensity, pace and temperature and offers the warmth and breathability of our iconic Xenair range, without the bulk of sleeves. Ideal as a midlayer or versatile outer layer, it’s compact and designed to respond to your performance, whether you’re climbing an icy waterfall or transitioning from skin to ski. It features an improved, highly breathable lining that moves sweat through the system faster than ever before. Combined with body-hugging, dual-weight insulation designed to keep heat only where you need it, it keeps you comfortable for longer and eliminates the need to change layers in mixed conditions.

Windproof Pertex® Quantum Air fabric keeps the chill at bay on exposed climbs, while slight one-sided adjustment at the rear hem lets you insulate yourself from icy winds. Comfortable semi-elastic armholes prevent sore armpits, even when you’re brandishing ice axes and wrestling with gear. Stash gloves, snacks or other essentials in the zippered chest pocket or two zippered hand pockets, one of which doubles as an integrated storage bag with a harness attachment loop.

From quick hikes to backcountry skiing, the Xenair Vest is a versatile, adaptable layer that will keep you moving on big days in the mountains.
