Rab Microlight Vest - Dark Pebble, Size M

When the temperature drops but you still need full mobility for climbing or hiking, a bulky jacket can hold you back. The Rab Microlight Vest solves this by providing core warmth without restricting your arms. It uses 700 fill power recycled hydrophobic down, which retains heat even in damp conditions, and a lightweight Pertex Quantum ripstop outer that resists wind and light rain. The vest packs into its own left hand pocket, making it easy to stash in a pack when not needed.

Who is it for

This vest is built for men who want versatile insulation for climbing, mountaineering, hiking, or everyday wear in cool weather. The regular fit allows layering over a base layer or under a shell, and the stand-up collar and adjustable hem help seal in warmth.

Tips

For maximum warmth, layer this vest over a lightweight fleece or base layer. The hydrophobic down will maintain loft even in humid conditions, but the DWR finish on the outer fabric should be refreshed periodically with a spray-on treatment to maintain water resistance. When packing, use the left hand pocket as a stuff sack to keep the vest compact in your backpack.
