Rab Mens Microlight Vest Twilight

Season:ZZZ Discontinued

Brand:Rab

Code:QDA-64-TWS

The Rab Microlight Vest is an incredibly versatile and practical gilet with a minimal streamlined design to keep all that down insulation as close to your body as possible. It works superbly as low bulk mid layer for active use in cold conditions and would provide enough core insulation for you to feel comfortable when out and about on a brisk autumn day on the mountain or around town.

Filled with110gof 750 fill power Hydrophobic European Goose Down in narrow stitch through baffles to minimise down migration and give it great looks.Pertex Microlight fabric provides a lightweight shell that is wind resistant, breathable and durable. A light DWR (durable water repellent) is added to repel moisture and combined with the Hydrophobic down, provides reassuring performance in all but the worst conditions.Rabuses Hydrophobic down in all their down jackets, basically each and every cluster of down is treated with special Nikwax products to make them perform better in damp conditions. Although Hydrophobic down is not waterproof it dries much faster, absorbs less water and retains loft far better than untreated down.

The main zip is from the ever reliable YKK brand and features an internal insulated baffle and soft chin guard to avoid rubbing when you're all tucked up inside the vest. For storage options you get two YKK zipped hand pockets and a YKK zipped external chest pocket. Rab have given the Microlight Vest a "slim fit" to ensure the down stays as close to your body as possible to optimise the insulation but there is enough room for lightweight layers if you need extra warmth.

We are all massive fans of vests (or gilets) as they provide essential core body warmth with unrestricted movement. We also find that you tend to overheat less when working hard and that they take up less room under a shell when used as an insulating midlayer.With a clean, uncluttered and minimalist design this vest is the perfect winter mid layer for all mountain activities, but is equally good for every day duties when it gets a bit chilly.

Slim Fit: Slim fitting, sitting close to the body, great for showing of your guns and pecks.

Regular Fit: Neither slim nor oversized. Regular-fitting garments that are bang in the middle. The middle is good.

Relaxed Fit: Drapes loosely on the body, baggy fit.

1Chest

Run the tape around the fullest part of your chest, the tape should be just below the arm pit and over the shoulder blades whilst horizontal to the floor.

2Waist

Measure around your natural waist as show in the diagram

3Inseam

Measure your inside leg from crotch to ankle blone keeping your leg straight: not as easy as it sounds, you could take a pair of trousers that you already own, that fit you well, and measure from the crotch to the bottom of the leg.

4Sleeve

This is a bit more tricky! Measure from the top of your spine (at the bottom of your neck) to your elbow and on the your wrist

5Arm

You should place the beginning of the measuring tape behind your shoulder, and feed it out following your arm making sure to pass both the elbow joint and the wrist, as pictured. You should take the measurement at the point where you would like the sleeve to end. This is usually just past your wrist.
