Rab Microlight down jacket - Black - XS

No, the Rab Microlight Down Jacket is windproof and water-resistant due to its Pertex® Quantum shell, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, you will need to wear a waterproof shell jacket over it.

Consider your intended use. If you plan to wear thick mid-layers underneath frequently, sizing up might provide a more comfortable fit. Check product sizing charts for specific measurements.

Yes, but it's crucial to use a gentle cycle, cold water, and a specialized down wash detergent. Avoid fabric conditioners.

Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up any clumps and re-fluffs the down.

Rab does not provide specific temperature ratings for its down jackets as comfort is subjective and depends on activity level, layering, and individual physiology. It is designed for insulation in cool to moderate conditions.

Reapply DWR when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and starts to soak in. This frequency depends on usage and care, typically every few washes or when performance diminishes.

Micro compartment baffles are slightly larger and used in core areas like the torso and shoulders for maximum warmth retention. Nano compartments are smaller and strategically placed in areas like the armpits to enhance breathability and reduce bulk during movement.

The down may have clumped. Follow the care instructions to wash and thoroughly tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to help re-distribute and restore the down's loft.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if needed.

This is normal during high exertion due to breathability. If it persists in light activity or after washing, ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is intact and reapply if necessary following manufacturer guidelines.
