Rab Microlight Down Men's Gilet

Windswept trails. Chilly belays. Summit snack breaks. A boost of post-run warmth. Whatever your day in the mountains looks like, the Microlight is up to the task. Lightweight and low-bulk, it's easy to layer and built to accompany you year-round.

Utilising Pertex Quantum technology, the outer layer of the gilet is exceptionally lightweight yet durable, designed to withstand extreme conditions. Pertex Quantum is both windproof and breathable, ensuring a balance of temperatures within the gilet for long-term comfort. The fabric is crafted from NetPlus yarn, which is made from fully traceable post-consumer recycled fishing nets. The durable nature of the fabric works to give you peace of mind on tough ascents, and it provides lightweight abrasion resistance so you'll never have to worry about tears. A durable water repellent (DWR) finish has been coated onto the gilet to increase the water repellence for dry comfort. Within the fabric is 700-Fill Power (FP), recycled down to offer unbelievable insulation by trapping warm air inside the garment for maximum warmth at minimum weight. The down is treated with a Grangers hydrophobic finish, which prevents water from penetrating the gilet and helps maintain its overall integrity. For targeted warmth, baffles have been implemented into the design with nano baffles on the sides for improved mobility and micro baffles located on the back and front for optimised warmth.

A front zip exists for complete temperature control; it can be worn zipped to seal in the heat and down to release an intolerable heat build-up, while the hem has a drawcord running within to personalise the fit and effectively entrap heat. Pockets have been added, including two hand-warming pockets on either side and a chest zip pocket for secure storage of small valuables. When the gilet is no longer needed, easily stuff it into one of the pockets for compact carrying, with a loop to attach it to your harness.
