For the town. For the trail. For the rockface. With its active fit, recycled down and fabrics, and body-mapped baffles, the Women’s Microlight Alpine Jacket is the ultimate multipurpose women’s down jacket.
The low weight, packability and tailored fit of Rab's Women’s Microlight Alpine Jacket enable it to excel both as a technical mountain layer and as a general-purpose everyday jacket. Its updated design uses zoned micro and nano baffle stitch-through construction for plenty of core warmth without any restriction in movement. With recycled 30D Pertex® Quantum ripstop nylon, as well as GRS-certified 700 fill power P.U.R.E recycled down, the Women’s Microlight Alpine Jacket now features fully recycled shell, insulation and lining. Key mountain features include elasticated cuffs, three harness-friendly zipped pockets, an adjustable down-filled hood with stiffened peak and a nikwax hydrophobic (water-resistant) finish - keeping you protected from the unpredictable weathers.
By combining proven mountain utility with refined styling and feather-light packability, Rab's updated Women’s Microlight Alpine Jacket is the down layer of choice for quick-grab mountain insulation.

The Rab Women's Microlight Alpine Jacket - Steel has the following sustainability attributes...
-
Carbon Neutral Company
Carbon Neutral or Climate Neutral brands have been third party verified as reducing their carbon footprint, often balancing their remaining emissions with carbon credits to support projects that are combating the climate emergency.
-
Recycled Down/Synthetic Insulation
Sourcing down or synthetic insulation from post-consumer products makes a very easy solution to the ethical question around virgin down and stops synthetic fibres (aka plastic) from entering landfill. Don’t worry about where it’s been – all recycled down and synthetic insulation is cleaned before being reused in a new product! Buying recycled insulation helps reduce the environmental impact of a new product.
-
Recycled Fabrics
By recycling fabrics, we are not only stopping extra waste heading to landfill but also reducing the need for virgin fabrics to be created. Recycled fabrics can be anything from recycled polyester to recycled cotton and where recycled cotton is used, it's often offcuts from factory floors that would otherwise end up in landfill.
