Rab Men's Microlight Alpine Down Hoody Jacket 700 Fill Power

Rab's classic lightweight down jacket has been updated. With a fresh design aesthetic and recycled construction, the highly packable Rab Men's Microlight Alpine Jacket is the go-to system for rapid warmth when the temperature drops. 

The redesigned Rab Microlight Alpine Jacket takes the versatile, easy-pack insulation of the established classic and dials in some intelligent new upgrades. It features a combination of zoned micro and nano baffles to increase core warmth without inflating weight or bulk - and the jacket’s ethical credentials are now equally sound. With 30D Pertex® Quantum ripstop nylon, as well as GRS-certified, 700 fill power P.U.R.E recycled hydrophobic down, the Microlight Alpine Jacket now features fully recycled shell, insulation and lining. Practical and user-friendly, both as an everyday jacket and as a mountain layer, additional features include three harness-compatible pockets, an easy-carry stuff sack and a down-filled hood with stiffened peak.

With its refined styling, improved down distribution and ethical upgrades, the Microlight Alpine Jacket is the definitive multi-purpose down jacket.

Rab Men's Upper Body Measurement Chart

While all Rab garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker mid-layers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.

Regular Fit for Garments 

Designed to be versatile Regular Fit garments are not closely fitted making them ideal for cross-seasonal use and multi-layering. Regular fit garments are contoured, with room for movement.

Slim Fit for Garments

Slim Fit garments are designed to be worn closer to the body or over layers such as baselayers and light mid-layers. Slim fit garments are close fitting for maximum performance when moving dynamically.

Expedition Fit for Garments

Expedition garments are designed to be worn in colder conditions over more layers of clothing than our other fits and are oversized slightly to allow for this.

Rab Microlight Jacket - Top Pick Award, Outdoor Gear Lab

"If you commonly experience wet weather on your adventures but aren't willing to part with all the advantages of down — lightweight, long life, and great packability — then we recommend the Rab Microlight Alpine, our Top Choice for Wet Weather. This hoody literally throws the kitchen sink at the problem of down's lack of integrity when wet. It combines super tightly woven, and water resistant Pertex Quantum face fabric with an awesome DWR coating, and Nikwax treated hydrophobic 700-fill power down. It also has a very deep, wire-brimmed hood that keeps water out of the face. While this jacket isn't totally waterproof, like the Columbia Outdry Ex Gold, it is far warmer, lighter, more packable, and frankly, comfortable than that jacket. We love the advantages of down, and love that Rab has made a down hoody that can hold up its nemesis — water."
