Rab Mens Microlight Alpine Jacket in Ascent Graphene

Season:EOL

Brand:RAB

Code:QDB-12-GRH

The redesigned 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.

Features:

  • Adjustable hood with stiffened peak
  • Zoned lightweight micro and nano baffle stitch-through construction
  • Pertex Quantum ripstop nylon fabrics are soft and packable
  • YKK® zipped hand pockets and large zipped chest pocket
  • Internally elasticated cuffs and drawcord adjustable hem
  • Stuff sack included
Buyers Guide - How to choose an Insulated Jacket

Everyone knows that to keep warm you need to insulate yourself from the cold.
THE most effective insulator is air, more importantly – dry air.
The more dry air you can trap against your body the warmer you will feel. However, air that contains moisture from sweat or rain will not insulate anywhere near as effectively so the layers you wear with your insulated jacket are critical to how it will perform. But how do you choose which one is right for you?


- What is the difference between down and synthetic?
- Why aren’t insulated jackets usually waterproof?
- Can you get water resistant down?
- How do the baffles work?
- How do I know how warm a jacket will be?
- Why do I need to think about how the hood fits?
- Why should I not buy a cheap down jacket?
- Can I buy a recycled down garment?
- How do I wash an insulated jacket?



Top tips to make the right choice:

Wearing cotton layers underneath your insulated jacket may well lock in sweat making you feel damp and therefore cold. They definitely work best with wicking layers underneath.

Check what the outer fabric is made of as some insulated jackets are designed to allow air through so they can work more efficiently in a layering system. If you are wanting an “outer” jacket then look for one with a windproof outer fabric.

If pack size is important then down garments will always pack smaller than a synthetic jacket of the same weight.
