Microlight Vest

When warmth is a necessity and weight is a burden you can't afford, throw on the Rab Microlight Vest for core warmth that won't drag you down. Versatile and packable with plenty of warmth, this insulating vest is the perfect companion for cold alpine adventures. 700-fill down provides snug and reliable core warmth that slides easily under a shell, while the hydrophobic treatment ensures that your down keeps doing its job even when it gets wet, offering some insurance when you wear it alone around town or on the trail. The durable Pertex Quantum shell gives you windproof warmth and water-resistant protection from moderate snows, and the harness-compatible pockets quickly hold any smaller items or gear that you don't have room for elsewhere.

Microlight Vest

This is an excellent product. It fits perfectly. I was disappointed that a stuff sack wasn’t included; should it have been.?

The garment is high quality,

The garment is high quality, as is our experience of all Rab clothing. The fit is excellent. It is wonderful to have the stuff sack so that the gilet will pack down small.

Was not thrilled by this vest

Having owned the Electron pro vest I was excited to get my hands on this one for an inbetween layer. I fit of the this vest is quite sloppy, boxy and long. Which I was not expecting from Rab. I returned this vest and will stick to my Electron pro vest.

For the past few of

For the past few of years or so I have been wearing the Microlight Vest (size large) which I combined with the Microlight Alpine Jacket (size extra large) when it gets particularly cold. Due to putting on a bit of weight over the year, the vest has become a bit tight, so I have had to get a larger size vest. As an all season hiker in North York Moors and Peak District these have served me very well in the winter months. They hold their fill very well and hold up well to windy conditions. I have worn them as a combination in -10 and moderate winds of 15 mph and they keep me toasty warm. I haven't tried them in extreme weather, but they were not designed for extreme conditions! I have kept them dry, so cannot say how they would hold up if wet. In high winds or when it rains I put on my hydroshell elite, to keep my warm and happy. I have no doubt that the extra large vest will perform as well as the large one has. The only negative point was that I did not receive a stuff sack with the extra large vest. When I bought my extra large jacket and my old large vest they both came with stuff sacks. It would have been nice if Rab still provided stuff sacks with their products.

Good fit, weight just right

Good fit, weight just right , ideal for early morning autumnal walks, will be used extensively as a layer in colder climates.

Microlight Down Vest

It's that time of year again when the Microlight Vest becomes pack of the daily packing regime. Wearing it as stand alone on top of base or mid layers off season, as part of layering system for winter. Best for moderate activity as down tends to get a bit damp and compact. Decent value and good warmth for weight ratio. Logos did come off during washing though.

Very warm, very light, packs

Very warm, very light, packs beautifully small. Fit true to size, a little big in the shoulder holes but clearly designed to fit a decent base/mid layer underneath.
