The Rab Microlight Alpine Down Jacket is an essential mid-layer for adult mountaineers, climbers, and trekkers who require a high warmth-to-weight ratio for year-round alpine environments. Utilizing 700FP recycled down with a Nikwax hydrophobic finish, this jacket excels at keeping you warm even in damp conditions, though it is intended primarily as an insulating layer rather than a standalone heavy-duty waterproof shell.

While the down is treated to be hydrophobic and the shell is windproof, this jacket is not waterproof. It should be worn under a rain shell during heavy precipitation.
The jacket includes an integrated pocket that doubles as a stuff sack. Simply fold the jacket into the designated zipped pocket.
Yes, this jacket uses 700FP recycled down insulation.
The stiffened peak helps the hood maintain its shape, shielding your eyes from wind and precipitation and improving visibility.
Use a specialized down cleaner in a front-loading washing machine, followed by a thorough tumble dry with dryer balls to restore loft.
Small amounts of down migration are normal. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it through the fabric.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying with dryer balls. If damp, the down will remain clumped and provide little warmth.
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always store it in a cool, dry place when not in use; avoid keeping it compressed in the stuff sack for extended periods. When washing, use a dedicated down-specific detergent and a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down clusters and restore loft. To maintain the water-repellent properties of the Pertex shell, you may periodically apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray once the factory coating begins to lose efficacy.
