For runners and fast hikers

Rab presents the Veil XP 30 in the field of high-performance equipment. The lightweight backpack was designed for equipment-conscious runners and fast hikers who are aiming for long-distance adventures. With this ultra-lightweight backpack, Rab is pioneering IP-certified backpacks, combining state-of-the-art technology with environmentally conscious design. Rab proves that performance and sustainable production methods with recycled fibers are not mutually exclusive. 

"We are honored to receive the ISPO Award for the Veil XP 30. This is fantastic recognition for the hard work and dedication we have put into improving our Rab backpack range for Spring/Summer 2025, and we look forward to presenting the new

products to our retail partners and consumers," says Tim Fish, Product Director at Rab, about the recognition from the industry award.

The Veil XP 30 was developed in collaboration with Rab athletes and is based on the brand's proven Veil running vests and Muon backpacks.

The Monomesh harness ensures stability, breathability and minimal water absorption, while the 3D Spacer back panel offers lightweight comfort and rapid moisture wicking. With a volume of 30 liters and a weight of only 0.545 kg, this backpack offers a perfect balance between capacity and agility.

The Veil XP 30 has been specifically designed to meet the needs of ambitious adventurers, with a focus on accessibility and adaptability. For example, the secure Velcro strap with laser-cut ventilation holes ensures a snug yet breathable fit.
