Hello I'm Andy from e-outdoor.co.uk
this is The Rab Microlight Alpine Jacket
okay these Micro baffle down jackets are really popular at the moment
they offer fantastic warmth to weight ratio and pack down
really small in your bag if you need to carry them and they look great
you can wear them around town on the hills or whatever you do
the down in this Jacket is by Rab this year who are using a Hydrophobic
coating over the down which makes it perform a lot better
if it should get wet, keeps it loft and dries a lot quicker than ordinary down
lets look at the features of the Rab Microlight Alpine Down Jacket
Let me tell you about the outer
fabric. It is a Pertex Microlight fabric
very very lightweight yet very durable
the down is a 750 fill down and that's not the amount of down in the jacket its the quality of down
so 750 would be considered as excellent quality down
okay let's take a look around the jacket
from the top the hood which is insulated
also down filled hood with a wired
peak so you can adjust the hood how you wish
also has cinch cords around each side so you can bring it in around the face
on the back of the hood is elastic to help it
fit around your head a little bit better
Coming down the Jacket you have a full YKK front zip
with a baffle to keep out some of the elements. Napoleon chest pocket here
also doubles up as a stuff sac for the jacket
so the whole jacket will stuff away into that chest pocket when you want to carry it around
Moving down the Jacket you have two
hand warmer pockets which are a large size
so you can fit plenty of stuff in there if you wish to. YKK zippered.
down here you have a cinch cord so you can bring the hem in nice
and tight around the waist
looking at the sleeves of the jacket
you have elasticated cuffs there
stopping wind coming up the sleeves
what I love about the Rab Microlight Alpine Jacket is just how warm it is compared to its weight
Very warm. Also nice colour ways this one is called Twilight
