Rab Veil 12L Lightweight Running Vest

Boosted with the extra storage needed for longer distance runs, Rab's Veil 12L lightweight running vest keeps runners fuelled, hydrated, and prepared for whatever the mountains have in store. When putting in the miles and needing space for additional kit, the Veil 12 is equipped with a larger volume and generous back compartment fitting everything needed on ultramarathons and long-distance mountain runs. With a lightweight construction that feels worn rather than carried, the vest is built around a Mono Mesh Chassis designed to support, reduce bounce, and contour to the body, giving complete freedom of movement over bumpy terrain. Form-fitting and highly breathable, it is 50% lighter and retains 70% less water than alternative spacer mesh constructions, keeping moisture to a minimum when the gradient rises.

The Veil 12 offers plenty of on-the-go hydration options with two 500 ml soft flasks (included) incorporated into the front, as well as space for a 2 L water bladder at the back. A large rear compartment with U-shaped zipped opening gives plenty of space for extra layers. Fully customisable, the sternum fit system ensures a close fit, while the rear bungee can be used to stow wet gear or to compress the load inside. Secure pockets with ultralight zip pulls keep keys or cards safe, while further large stretch pockets provide easy access to snacks or gels. When not needed, poles can be quickly stowed on the move using the front and rear Z-pole holder.

Specifications

Technology

Mono Mesh Chassis
Lightweight, breathable, and strong, this framework provides optimal fit and a secure, stable carry while absorbing very little moisture. Engineered with Ripstop construction and carefully panelled to offer stretch and strength where it is needed.

Fluorocarbon (PFAS) Free
Fluorocarbon-free fabric is completely free of fluorocarbons (PFAS), whether in the face fabric, membrane, or backer. PFAS-free means all intentionally added PFAS have been phased out, in compliance with current EU and US legislation.
