RAB Men's Microlight Alpine Down Jacket

It seems like many people don’t understand the role and design of this jacket. Rab is an outdoor sports - eg. trekking and mountaineering - manufacturer of apparel. The Microlight is therefore designed to be used actively. For Asian sizes, it may seem a little loose fitting, and the sizes are more in tune with European fits. So keep that in mind. In my view, the slightly loose fit is designed to accommodate 1 or 2 other layers of clothing to keep you really warm when active. Such as a separate fleece jacket. I took this jacket on a trek in Nepal, and it was more than warm enough for -5 Celsius and lots of wind, when paired with a base layer and fleece underneath it. If you’re going to use it over just a t-shirt, go down a size. If you plan on layering, stick with the regular size. The closer it feels to your body, the more it will help in keeping you warm and trapping heat. That’s what down jackets do. A loose fitting down jacket won’t help as air gets between the jacket and your body. Just my opinion, but I’d be comfortable using this jacket in -10C with layering. Others might find it different as everyone has different cold tolerances. It’s lightweight, allows for great arm movement, and is very well designed. Just know how to use it with the rest of your clothing. Worth the premium price.

Very nice and light weighted jacket

Excellent product. Original Rab warmth. Excellent to protect from mild to mildly severe winter. For more harsh winters between 0 and 5 degree Celsius, one should use more layers for warmth. Excellent and good purchase. 👍

Warmth theek-thaak thi, par durability issue dekhkar mujhe jacket return karna pada. Price ke hisaab se quality aur better ho sakti thi.

I am happy to buy this product.

Amazing jacket . Perfect fit and really warm. RAB really is the pioneer of down jackets and the Microlight Alpine down jacket is no exception.

don't but if you stay in a cold region. its very light and comfortable but doesnot provide enough warmth on its own.

Due to improper stitching the jacket's filling is coming out. This is very disappointing as it was bought because of Columbia's brand reputation for winter wear.
