Men's Microlight Down Vest

【Store Manager's Comments】

Selling at a pace of one every 4 minutes, this is the vest version of Rab’s iconic, signature down jacket.
It has the exact same specs as the Microlight Jacket, just without the sleeves!

Vests are great for keeping your core warm without restricting arm movement, making them easy to layer. If you find yourself stiff from bundling up too much in the middle of winter, just switching to a vest can make your outfit feel much lighter and more mobile!

The 700-fill-power down used is treated with Down Defend from Grangers, the British outdoor detergent and water-repellent brand. (Rab is the only one with this collaboration.)

It’s lightweight and compact, so you can feel at ease knowing you have it as an extra layer for warmth during autumn and winter trekking.

It features a packable design that can be stuffed into the left pocket.

【Sizing】

Store Manager (170cm/68kg): UK size S

Rab uses UK sizing. Also, Rab products vary by model—some are slim fit and others are regular fit. In my case, I usually choose a UK M for slim-fit models and a UK S for regular-fit models.

Since this is a regular fit, I chose a UK S. When choosing your size, I recommend going one size down from your usual size.

Model: 188cm/Wearing UK size M

【Manufacturer's Description】

A breezy trail. A chilly belay point. A quick snack at the summit. The moment you warm up after a run. Whatever your day in the mountains looks like, the "Microlight" covers every situation.

Designed to be lightweight and non-bulky, it is easy to layer and built to perform all year round. High-loft 700FP down is zoned throughout the baffles, with small nano-baffles under the arms for increased mobility, and larger micro-baffles across the back, shoulders, and front to optimize warmth where it's needed most.

For the first time, the Microlight is constructed with Pertex® Quantum, now featuring Pertex® Quantum NetPlus®.

NetPlus® is a yarn made by recycling fully traceable post-consumer fishing nets. This soft-touch fabric is windproof and breathable, and durable enough to withstand getting snagged on rocks or stuffed into a backpack.

Highly versatile and a Rab bestseller, the Microlight is a down vest that wears like a second skin, providing reliable warmth and familiar comfort just when you need it most.

• Zoned baffle construction to increase warmth and mobility where needed
  
  
• Chest pocket and two zippered hand pockets for storing essentials.
  One of these also doubles as an integrated storage pouch with a loop for clipping to a harness.
  
• Features designed to increase warmth while staying lightweight, such as elasticated armholes and a drawcord-adjustable hem.
  
  
  
• YKK® center-front zipper with an insulated zip baffle.
