In search of a lightweight down gilet for mountain, town and trail? With recycled construction and body-mapped baffles, the best-selling Microlight Vest by RAB for women is more effective than ever.

The Microlight Vest by RAB has been brought up to date with a slick new design aesthetic and some carefully selected upgrades. At just 259g, it retains outstanding packability but, from the 30D Pertex® Quantum ripstop nylon shell to the 20D lining and the 700FP down, the fabrics and down are now fully recycled. The new design also features ‘intelligent’ insulation.

The zoning of micro and nano baffles helps put the down where it’s needed, reducing migration and improving warmth, without wasting weight, adding bulk or restricting movement. Ideal for both everyday insulation and mountain layering, ascent-ready features include a weather-resistant DWR coating, two large harness-friendly zipped hand pockets, a warm down-filled collar and a drawcord-adjustable hem.

The new Microlight Vest by RAB delivers an appealing combination of low weight, core warmth and easy movement for a rapid insulation boost whenever it’s needed.
