With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

What is the Microlight Vest?

The Microlight Vest a micro-baffled, lightweight, hydrophobic down-filled vest that is perfect for just about any outdoor activity. It’s hugely versatile and reliable and works superbly as an insulating layer as part of your overall layering system.

What is it made of?

Insulation: Providing the warmth inside the Microlight Vest is a fully recycled 700 fill power down with a Nikwax hydrophobic treatment. Only the highest quality down is collected, washed, sterilised and reused for Rab's jackets, providing exactly the same performance as new down but with far better environmental credentials. One of the main negatives to using down is that if it gets wet, it stops insulating you. Rab have combatted this by coating each and every cluster in a Nikwax product, meaning it dries faster, absorbs less water and lofts better than an untreated alternative.

Fabrics: Surrounding all this luxurious down is a recycled 30D Pertex Quantum fabric. This fabric weighs very little and features a durable water repellent coating, providing a little weather-resistance if you happen to get caught out. Inside, a similar recycled 20D nylon is used but in a lighter, softer variant.

What are its features?

For storage options, you get two nicely sized handwarmer pockets for your usual bits and bobs. A close-fitting insulated collar keeps draughts off your neck, while a drawcord seals in warmth around the bottom of the vest.

Where does it fit in the layering system?

It can either be used as a warm midlayer with a shell/softshell over the top or an outer layer when the weather is on your side.

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.
