The Women's Microlight Alpine is a lightweight down jacket for all round outdoor use.
This is a fantastic piece for normal UK winters - warm enough for most days whilst slimline enough to pop your waterproof jacket over the top for an unexpected shower. The goose down fill offers incredible warmth to weight and means that the whole jacket easily compresses into it's own chest pocket! This means there's no excuses for not talking this guaranteed warm layer everywhere with you!
Ideal as a light belay jacket for Alpine climbing, for mountain marathon use or just for the daily winter commute - the Microlight Alpine is a versatile layer with a great women's specific fit.

Warm, functional product from RAB let down only by small details - at this price the cloth on the zip pull is cheap and thin and the printed "Rab" logo looks tacky; I know this is common to many products nowadays but given the reputation of the brand and the cost a label or embroidery wouldn't go amiss ;-).
With a decent shirt underneath it is very warm when zipped up and light /airy if unzipped. Very light and well made - recommended.
