Rab Microlight Shield Jacket

The Microlight Shield Jacket is the waterproof evolution of a bestselling lightweight down layer—designed to eliminate the need for both a shell and an insulated jacket. Built with a 2-layer Pertex® Shield outer, it delivers reliable waterproof protection while maintaining excellent breathability and low weight, making it ideal for cold, wet environments.

Inside, 700 fill power down is mapped across varying baffle sizes to maximise warmth where it’s needed most while reducing bulk in high-movement zones like the underarms. This intelligent construction ensures freedom of movement without compromising insulation. Durable, repairable, and engineered for long-term performance, the Microlight Shield Jacket is a streamlined, all-in-one solution for alpine missions, winter hikes, and unpredictable weather conditions.

FEATURES:

• Optimised mobility with smaller nano baffles down the sides and under your arms.
• Larger micro baffles offer greater down loft and heat retention where you need it most.
• When a storm rolls in, take shelter in the adjustable hood with integrated peak to keep the rain off your face.
• Allows unrestricted movement with fully articulated sleeves.
• Heat up numb hands in the two hand pockets, which sit behind the baffles for maximum warmth.
• Additional space for snacks or a map in the zipped chest pocket.
• Seal out the elements using the drawcord adjustable hem and internally elasticated cuffs.
• YKK® VISLON® AquaGuard® front zip with insulated zip baffle.
