Rab Microlight Alpine Jackets

The Rab Microlight Alpine jacket is a highly protective and packable insulated layer, making it an excellent choice for mountain days.

Its performance starts with the Pertex Quantum® outer fabric—a soft, lightweight, and windproof material that allows the insulation inside to fully loft. That insulation is P.U.R.E Recycled Down, which is 100% recovered from post-consumer waste like old duvets and jackets. This approach gives a second chance to valuable down that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

The Microlight Alpine jacket features strategically positioned micro and nano baffles that use Rab's body-mapped baffle technology. This system intelligently distributes the down around the body, trapping heat where it's needed most while keeping high-heat areas like the underarms less bulky for increased mobility.

Perfect for climbing, mountaineering, or hiking in the hills, the Microlight Alpine is a versatile piece for any adventure. Longer-bodied and ECO versions are also available to suit different needs.

It is a versatile, lightweight down jacket designed for a wide range of mountain activities, including hiking, climbing, and mountaineering. Its combination of warmth, low weight, and packability makes it an excellent all-around insulation piece for year-round use.

Down jackets require special care. It is generally recommended to wash them as infrequently as possible, and when you do, to use a specialised down wash. They can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle, and it's important to tumble dry them on a low heat with a few dryer balls to help the down re-loft properly.
