Rab - For the most extreme conditions in the world | New this Season

The Microlight Alpine eVent jacket is a super lightweight, narrow baffled, fully waterproof, seam sealed down jacket.

Lightweight? tick! Waterproof? tick, tick! Warmth? tick, tick, tick! All in one jacket? oh yes! we can do that!

The Microlight Alpine eVent jacket takes everything we've learned from making lightweight down pieces and combines this with our waterproof shell expertise to create a down insulated, fully waterproof jacket.

We use 140g/5oz (size large) of US750 fill European goose down and a 2 layer eVent® fabric shell that combine to create a warm and breathable jacket that is ideal for Alpine climbing, winter mountain walking and for those changeable days at the crag spent dodging the rain.

  I purchased this jacket as a test item in February 2011 and since then it has been around the world and back. The fact that this jacket is made of superior down and is absolutely waterproof makes it a winner. I'd recommend to anyone.
