Product Information
Full details
The Rab Microlight Alpine Down Jacket is designed for men seeking lightweight warmth and packability in various outdoor activities. This jacket excels in providing insulation with its 700-fill power P.U.R.E hydrophobic down and 30D Pertex Quantum ripstop nylon. However, it's essential to note that while highly packable, it's designed as a mid-layer or outer layer in milder conditions and may require layering in extremely cold environments.

Troubleshooting
Down feathers are escaping.
This is normal, as down feathers may occasionally escape through the fabric. Do not pull them; gently push them back in.
The jacket feels less warm.
This can happen if the down has become wet or compressed. Make sure the jacket is completely dry and tumble dry on low heat to restore loft.
The zipper is stuck.
Carefully check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper loose. Avoid excessive force.
