Rab Microlight Jacket temps

Read the review and Richard Nisley's comments for better explanation, but basically "The Microlight Jacket is warm down to about freezing at a low activity level…”"

Thanks for the link Dustin!

It is an odd fit, at least for me. The large cut into my armpits, and the XL sleeves were to long. The shell material seems pretty tough and weather resistant.

I've had mine for about a month and have not noticed and major down leakage.

I have given my size large to my daughter which fits like a men's medium.

Same experience. I wear a medium, 5'8", about 175lbs, picked up a medium off Gear Swap. Arm pit area and shoulder are slightly tight. I'd opt for a large if I was buying new.

I love my Rab microlight. I joke that it is like wearing a layer of warm air. The complaint about it being a feather leaker doesn't seem to be true at all. Maybe they fixed it along with fixing the open pockets. They have zippers now.

My only complaint is that it is tight under the armpits. I wear a medium for just about everything, and my size medium Rab fits just right everywhere except the arm pits.
