Microlight Down Jacket Men's

【Store Manager's Comment】

A down jacket that could define a new category, using 【TXDown】—a sheet-type down with temperature-regulating properties!

Down jackets are supposed to rely on the air trapped by down clusters (loft) for warmth, right? My first impression was, "Is this super thin, sheet-like down even going to work?" But once I wore it, it all made sense.

This is less of a down jacket for staying warm while stationary, and more like an active insulation piece.

It breathes well, preventing overheating; because it’s a sheet, there are no cold spots; the down doesn't shed; it isn't bulky, so it’s easy to move in; and its thin profile makes it perfect for layering.

It's like the best of both worlds between a down jacket and an active insulation piece. Doesn't this feel like it could be a whole new category?

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

【Sizing】

Store Manager (170cm/68kg): UK Size S (M is way too big, not even worth considering)

Rab uses UK sizing. Rab products also vary by model (slim fit, regular fit, etc.). 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 went with a UK S. I recommend going one size down from your usual size.

【Manufacturer's Description】

From the heat of midsummer to the chill of midwinter, this down jacket performs all year round. The Microlight is a true year-round insulation piece, perfect for layering during winter hikes or taking the edge off the cold on chilly evenings at the crag.

The low-bulk baffles are filled with a sheet insulation infused with TXdown®, which fits close to the body for easy layering and compact packability. It is also highly breathable, keeping you comfortable during active movement, whether you're fast-hiking on the trail or pushing your limits on the rock face. Finished with Pertex® Quantum, which uses NetPlus® yarn made from recycled fishing nets, the Microlight provides lightweight, accessible warmth for every adventure—from hiking and fastpacking to climbing and bouldering.

• Designed for bouldering and climbing, the articulated sleeves ensure ease of movement and a full range of arm motion.
  
  
• The jacket is packable into its own left hand pocket. It also features a clip-in loop, allowing you to attach it to a backpack or harness.
  
  
• An adjustable drawcord hem prevents wind from entering.
  
• The lightweight YKK® center-front zipper features an insulated zipper baffle.
