FAQs
How do I clean the jacket?

What should I do if the jacket gets wet?
Dry it as soon as possible, preferably by tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls.
How should I store the jacket during the off-season?
Store it in a breathable storage bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods.
What is the warranty on the Rab Microlight Alpine Down Jacket?
Warranty information can be found on Rab's website or contact the retailer where you purchased the jacket.
Can I repair the jacket if it gets damaged?
Small tears can often be repaired with repair tape or patches. For more extensive damage, consider professional repair services.
What is the fill power of the down?
The jacket uses 700 fill power P.U.R.E recycled hydrophobic down.
Is this jacket windproof?
The jacket offers wind resistance due to its Pertex Quantum ripstop nylon fabric, though it is not fully windproof.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are escaping.
This is normal, especially with new jackets. Gently pull the feather back inside. Avoid pulling them from the seams. If excessive, check for any tears and repair them.
The jacket isn't as warm as it used to be.
The down may have lost its loft. Wash and dry the jacket according to the care instructions to restore its insulating properties.
Zippers are sticking.
Lubricate zippers with a zipper wax or a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
