The Microlight is Rab's original lightweight down jacket, and one of their best sellers. It's warm, windproof and squashes down small, so it earns a spot in your pack all year round. They've zoned the down with micro baffles around the body and shoulders, plus smaller nano baffles under the arms so it breathes better when you're working hard. Wear it round town, on a frosty morning at the hut, or as a warm layer under your shell on a cold alpine start. It's the jacket you pack 'just in case' and then wear the whole trip.
