Rab Size Chart

This is our Rab size guide for the Veil running vests. Rab Veil vests are form-fitting, with a fully adjustable sternum fit system for a close fit. Measure your chest and match it to the chart. Rab doesn't give between-sizes advice, so if you're right on the line, try both sizes on. Every body is different, so it's always best to get fitted at your local running store.

Rab Running Vest Size Chart

For the Veil 6L and Veil 12L Lightweight Running Vests. Sizes are based on chest measurement.

Rab Veil running vest sizes: chest (inches)
Size Chest (in)
S 34–37
M 37–40
L 40–44

How to measure

  1. Wear what you run in and stand relaxed.
  2. Wrap a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your chest, under your arms.
  3. Keep the tape level and snug, but not tight, and read the measurement in inches.
  4. Match it to the chart.

Fit tips

  • Close fit: the Veil vests are form-fitting. The adjustable sternum fit system lets you dial in a close fit.
  • Stretch side panels: on the Veil 6L, stretch side panels add support and help the fit.
  • Fine-tuning the 12L: on the Veil 12L, the lower pole loops can also be used to fine-tune the fit.
  • Right on a boundary: the ranges meet at 37 in and 40 in, and Rab doesn't say which way to go. Try both sizes with the vest loaded.

This chart is a guide, not an exact fit. Sizing can vary between vests and with how you like your vest to fit.
