What is the Mythic Vest?

As you may have guessed, the Mythic Vest is like a Mythic Jacket, just without the sleeves.

It's an extremely lightweight, warm and packable gilet - perfect as an extra emergency layer that you can easily pop over a fleece or under a down or shell jacket. It offers optimum warmth and comfort and is perfect for transitioning seasons when the weather just can't make its mind up.

What is it made of?

Constructed with breathable Pertex® Quantum and filled with a mixture of synthetic and down insulation provides wearers with next level comfort that feels fantastic all day long. The insulation is body mapped to provide extra warmth to body parts that need it most, also offering a little less weight and bulk yet more breathability.

Down Insulation: The vest uses 900 fill power, R.D.S Certified European Goose Down, offering maximum loft (fluffiness) and insulation.

European Goose Down is fantastic quality down - it has larger clusters than Duck Down which improves the warmth to weight ratio. These clusters are made up of tiny feather strands that trap heat, which is why it's so important to get a quality garment with a construction that allows its insulation to loft effectively!

The down is treated with a Nikwax fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finish, which adds light water resistance to the down itself.


Can't quite catch the lingo? Here's a quick break down.


Fill power - Fill power measures the warmth and efficiency of the down, alongside its ability to loft/fluff up. A rating of 900 fill power means that 1oz of this down fills 900 cubic inches of space when fully lofted. For a more detailed explanation, you can check out our YouTube video on fill power by clicking here.


R.D.S - The Responsible Down Standard ensures that the down is sourced from happy birds who haven't been plucked and have been well cared for.


Hydrophobic - Hydrophobic down dries out and lofts quicker, resisting moisture from sweat that may build up as you're warming up inside the jacket. Fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic finishes don't use harmful chemicals that cause damage to the environment - a bonus for more eco-conscious adventurers.


Synthetic Insulation: The sides and shoulders are filled with Primaloft® Gold synthetic insulation. Primaloft® Gold offers the maximum warmth of any Primaloft® insulation. It is a woven synthetic sheet insulation with low water absorption, unlike down, and therefore performs better in wet conditions. Rab has strategically placed the Primaloft® Gold in high contact areas that are more likely to get wet. It is incredibly functional in changeable conditions and adds durability and breathability where you need it most.

Outer Shell & Lining: The lining uses 10D Recycled Pertex® Quantum, which contains incredibly fine yarns and has a tight weave to create a soft, windproof layer that helps improve the efficiency of the insulation by trapping more warm air inside.

The outer shell is coated in a fluorocarbon free Durable Water Repellent (DWR), which creates a light water resistance, helping to protect the down further. Similar to the Hydrophobic finishes, fluorocarbon free DWR's are much more sustainable than regular treatments, as they do not use any chemicals that harm the environment.

What are its features?

The Mythic Vest, like the Mythic jackets, has lightweight stitch-through construction, which offers less bulk for optimum mobility. Each baffle is relatively small, helping prevent down migration across the torso and keep an even spread of warmth across the vest.

Armholes are part elasticated, offering freedom of movement and flexibility around the shoulders whilst adding a little extra comfort. At the front, a YKK® centre zip fastens the gilet, which is really smooth and easy to use with gloves, or numb fingers.

Two hand pockets easily fit the essentials like energy gels, protein bars, a wallet, GPS or mobile phone. These are secured with a subtle concealed YKK® zip.

There's a lightweight single sided rear hem adjustment that helps to optimise the vest's fit and reduce bulk - super handy if you want to layer the gilet underneath another down jacket without feeling like Mr Stay-Puft lumbering around in the mountains.

The vest comes in a lightweight stuffsack to pack away when not in use. Stuffsacks are literally made for stuffing! Don't fold away the gilet to pack it up - make sure you stuff it in the bag randomly. By doing this, the insulation is packed down differently each time, preventing creases from developing in the down and stopping cold spots from forming in the insulation.

How does it fit?

The Mythic Vest is a slim fit, making it the perfect piece to add to your layering system! Pair it with a t-shirt and jeans or hiking pants on warmer days. When the rain pours, wear it under a shell jacket or in winter, team it up with a fleece and an insulated jacket for maximum warmth.

  • Lightweight stitch-through construction for optimum mobility
  • Part elasticated armholes for improved fit and comfort
  • Lightweight YKK® centre front zip
  • 2 YKK® concealed zipped hand pockets
  • Lightweight single sided rear hem adjustment with anti snag tether

This is a bit more tricky! Measure from the top of your spine (at the bottom of your neck) to your elbow and on the your wrist
