Rab Veil 12L Lightweight Running Vest

When covering long distances and requiring additional space for essential gear, the Veil 12 offers a larger capacity with a spacious rear compartment designed to accommodate everything needed for ultramarathons and extended mountain runs. Engineered with a lightweight construction that feels worn rather than carried, this vest is built around a Mono Mesh Chassis, specifically designed to provide support, minimise bounce, and contour seamlessly to the body. This ensures unrestricted movement across rugged terrain. Highly breathable and form-fitting, it is 50% lighter than traditional spacer mesh constructions and retains 70% less water, effectively keeping moisture at bay when tackling steep ascents.

The Veil 12 is designed to keep hydration within easy reach, featuring two front-integrated 500ml soft flasks (included) and space for a 2L hydration bladder in the rear compartment. The generously sized U-shaped zipped rear compartment provides ample storage for extra layers. Fully customisable, the sternum fit system ensures a secure and tailored fit, while the rear bungee allows for load compression or stowing damp gear. Secure zippered pockets with ultralight zip pulls offer a safe place for essentials such as keys or cards, while additional stretch pockets allow quick access to snacks or energy gels. When poles are not in use, they can be swiftly stowed on the move using the front and rear Z-pole holder.
