Used in alpine, below freezing, conditions. - It seems like many people don’t understand the role and design of this jacket. Rab is an outdoor sports - eg. trekking and mountaineering - manufacturer of apparel. The Microlight is therefore designed to be used actively. For Asian sizes, it may seem a little loose fitting, and the sizes are more in tune with European fits. So keep that in mind. In my view, the slightly loose fit is designed to accommodate 1 or 2 other layers of clothing to keep you really warm when active. Such as a separate fleece jacket. I took this jacket on a trek in Nepal, and it was more than warm enough for -5 Celsius and lots of wind, when paired with a base layer and fleece underneath it. If you’re going to use it over just a t-shirt, go down a size. If you plan on layering, stick with the regular size. The closer it feels to your body, the more it will help in keeping you warm and trapping heat. That’s what down jackets do. A loose fitting down jacket won’t help as air gets between the jacket and your body. Just my opinion, but I’d be comfortable using this jacket in -10C with layering. Others might find it different as everyone has different cold tolerances. It’s lightweight, allows for great arm movement, and is very well designed. Just know how to use it with the rest of your clothing. Worth the premium price. Review: Excellent jacket - Very nice and light weighted jacket ## Features - Recycled 700 fill-power Fluorocarbon free Hydrophobic (water-resistant) finish Down developed in conjunction with Nikwax (153g Size L), that enables the Down to retain its loft in damp conditions,so that your jacket dries fast and stays warm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D79RD9PF | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Apparel Fabric Stretch | No Stretch | | Apparel Fabric Weight Class | Lightweight | | Best Sellers Rank | #265,531 in Clothing & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Clothing & Accessories ) #16 in Men's Camping & Hiking Down Jackets | | Brand Name | RAB | | Closure Type | Zipper | | Colour | Tempest Blue | | Country of Origin | Indonesia | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 368 Reviews | | Fit Type | Regular | | Fit to Size Sentiment | fits as expected | | Has Coat Weather Resistance | Yes | | Item Length Description | Standard Length | | Item Weight | 16.4 Ounces | | Lining Description | Recycled Nylon | | Manufacturer | Equip Outdoor Technologies UK Ltd.

Original Rab warmth. Excellent to protect from mild to mildly severe winter. For more harsh winters between 0 and 5 degree Celsius, one should use more layers for warmth. Excellent and good purchase. 👍 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/679282898-rab-microlight-alpine-jacket](https://www.desertcart.at/products/679282898-rab-microlight-alpine-jacket) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
