Updated for AW20/21
Rab's classic lightweight down jacket has been updated with a fresh design aesthetic and recycled construction
The highly packable Microlight Alpine Jacket is the go-to system for rapid warmth when the temperature drops
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

P.U.R.E Recycled Down
P.U.R.E. recycled Down is a 100% sustainable and eco-friendly filling material.
Rab use GRS-certified P.U.R.E.® recycled down, that is sorted and graded in Italy before being delivered to them in Derbyshire to fill their jackets
P.U.R.E.® recycled down is currently the only down recycling company to be certified by the Global Recycling Standard
The team at P.U.R.E.® are experts at reclaiming down from post-consumer waste items like duvets and pillows
The reclaimed down is sterilised, cleaned, treated with Nikwax® hydrophobic treatment and graded into different qualities and fill powers resulting in the same insulation properties as virgin down.
Hydrophobic Down
This treatment significantly improves the performance of the down by preventing the clusters from absorbing moisture and helping it to retain its loft
In the event that the down does become waterlogged the treatment significantly decreases the time it takes the down to dry and its loft to recover
It’s worth noting that hydrophobic treatment means that a down jacket will perform better in wet conditions, but it’s not intended to make a garment waterproof

Pertex® Quantum
Pertex® Quantum uses a tightly woven structure to provide a light and soft fabric that allows insulation to fully loft
