The Rab Microlight Alpine Jacket is one of Rab's signature pieces, expertly designed with warmth, weight and packability in mind, plus made with recycled materials and insulation.
Responsibly sourced 700 fill power P.U.R.E. recycled and hydrophobic down provides exceptional warmth without compromising on weight, and is protected by a breathable and windproof recycled Pertex Quantum outer fabric. The down is kept in placed using zoned micro and nano baffle stitch-through construction to keep you warm where you need it most. Pertex® Quantum uses a tightly woven structure to provide a light and soft fabric that allows insulation to fully loft. With down proof construction, a DWR finish and soft feel, it's a lightweight and packable windproof fabric offering excellent weather protection.
Key technical features include a down-filled hood, 3 harness friendly YKK zipped pockets and Lycra bound cuffs for comfortable layering use.

Think Green
We know our customers like to know exactly what they're buying; we're not going to sugar coat it, but we are going to explain it.

The Rab Women's Microlight Alpine Jacket - Ascent Red 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.
