The rab microlight alpine jacket is an all around high performance down jacket.
On top of hydrophobic down developed by nikwax the rab microlight alpine down jacket also uses super tightly woven pertex microlight nylon fabric that is naturally water resistant and a superior external dwr coating keeps water from soaking in from the outside providing the best overall defense against water available in a down jacket today.
It fit better than most jackets we tried offering fantastic freedom of movement combined with the ability to layer over or underneath it.
For you americans unfamiliar with rab they are a uk based company well known for producing high quality down products.
The rab electron men s and women s is perfect for those situations in which a lightweight down jacket isn t going to cut it but something like the rab neutrino endurance would be overkill.
