Description
The Rab Microlight Vest WS is a lightweight and versatile down vest designed specifically for women, perfect for providing thermal insulation without restricting mobility. It works great as a mid-layer or outer layer on cold days, both in the mountains and for everyday outdoor use.
It is filled with 700FP recycled down with a Nikwax hydrophobic finish and made with Pertex® Quantum fabric, a combination that offers a great warmth-to-weight and compressibility ratio.
Real technical performance
Its low-bulk design allows it to be easily worn over a thin fleece or under a shell, improving core insulation without sacrificing freedom of movement. It is a particularly useful garment for trekking, hiking, travel, and mountaineering in cool or cold weather.
Thanks to its lightness and high compressibility, it takes up very little space in a backpack and is very practical as a backup thermal layer.
