Rab Mens Microlight Alpine Jacket - Beluga

Season:W23

Brand:Rab

Code:QDB-12-BE

A highly packable, multi-purpose, yet lightweight jacket that provides instant warmth when the temperature drops.

With a fresh design aesthetic and recycled construction, the classic Microlight Alpine Jacket is the go-to, multi-purpose down jacket for everyday use.

Materials
Recycled 30D nylon Pertex Quantum – Uses an ultra-thin, water-resistant coating to provide increased weather resistance for use in extreme conditions. Maximises thermal efficiency of insulation.

700FP R.D.S Recycled Down – Fluorocarbon free down with a Hydrophobic treatment applied at the source during down processing. Allowing it to absorb less water, dry faster and retain loft.

Features

  • Zoned lightweight micro and nano baffle stitch-through construction
  • Adjustable hood with stiffened peak
  • YKK zipped hand pockets and large zipped chest pocket
  • Internally elasticated cuffs and drawcord adjustable hem
  • Fit: Regular
  • Centre back length (Size L): 76cm/30inch

A closer look
The zoned, micro and nano stitch-through baffle construction minimises the amount of outer fabric and stitching required during manufacturing, providing a significant weight saving.

The adjustable hood is paired with a stiffened peak to ensure your vision is never compromised. Two, harness-compatible YKK zipped hand pockets and a large zipped chest pocket keeps essentials organised, and internally elasticated cuffs and a drawcord adjustable hem ensures the perfect fit.

The GRS-certified P.U.R.E. recycled down is reclaimed from post-consumer waste items like duvets and pillows. The reclaimed down is sterilised, cleaned, treated with Nikwax® hydrophobic treatment and graded into different qualities and fill-powers, resulting in the same insulation properties as virgin down. Using recycled down is a sustainable alternative to virgin down, helps reduce environmental impact, and also helps prevent unnecessary waste going to landfill. Sorted and graded in Italy, P.U.R.E. recycled down is currently the only down recycling company to be certified by the Global Recycling Standard.

Sustainability.

Rab have a pledge to be net-zero by 2030 and have made significant strides already. Recycled materials feature in products, including recycled down (one of the biggest selling categories for us and them), this is just the start, there is more to do. Find out more about Rab’s Net Zero Plan

    This jacket is extremely delicate. I wore it once in the car and it already had a hole and feathers coming out. Rab would not honour warranty either. I would avoid Rab completely and use the money on a better built competitor jacket.

    I love these jackets I’m on my 3rd one but for some reason on this latest jacket the feather filling keeps coming out so when I take the jacket of my top is covered in white feathers still a good jacket though

    I’ve had a few down jackets of this type of ‘micro’ design. This one is in a different league. Great cut, medium fitted me perfectly(I’m 5’ 11” and 165 lbs). Very nice details and finishing touches all round. Pricey but SO worth it!!

    This is the second such jacket I have owned. First one worn to death and a few careless tears have rendered it to my fishing clothing box. It still works perfectly but a bit tired. Other cheaper similar jackets are OK but the Rab just fits perfectly and perhaps thats why it works. Light, comfortable and warm. Dont skimp. Buy the best and cry only once.

    This is the 2nd microlight alpine jacket i have had. I have always struggled with Rab sizing (and in fact all down jacket sizing really) i seem to sit between M and L - M too small, L bit too baggy at the back. I read a bit about this jacket online and saw that its not meant to be a tailored fit, its designed for layers underneath. I previously had a M which was great when on the move, but static it seemed to just lose all the heat and i was cold ! After reading a bit it seemed that it was too tight and this meant the baffles couldnt ‘puff up’ and trap heat, so as a result it wasnt working properly and i was cold ! I sized up after realising thst it was designed for layers and sizing up would allow this plus the jacket to fully puff….. and what a massive difference this has made !! It’s a thermal bomb now !! 10° + i only need a t-shirt underneath, 10° - 7° just a sweater, 7° and below t-shirt and sweater and im toasty - and this is just when bimbling around town. On a proper walk i’d say just a t-shirt underneath and i’d be toasty - but im still yet to fully test this ! Great jacket - sizing up has made a HUGE difference !

    I love the Rab coats I’ve got so decided to buy the hubster one. He is a very big chap 6’4 inches, I bought the XXL and it fits him a treat with a few layers. Taunton leisure offer great discounts and a great service Thank you
  • Rab Mens Microlight Alpine Jacket - Beluga review by CM, on 29/11/2022

    Nice warm jacket - both as outer layer and mid-layer under a waterproof. Fit is excellent too - but that is to my body type. Wish it was 750 or 800 fill power and goose down and so a bit fluffier - but since it uses recycled down they dont know whether its goose or duck and only get 700 FP out of it. However 800FP virgin down jackets are a bit more expensive than this one so cant complain too much. I am 179cm and slim and wear an S (can fit a jumper or fleece underneath).

    Awesome coat, great colour mix and perfect for everyday use. Ellie at Taunton Leisure dealt with my enquiry and assisted in ensuring the item got to me on time as a birthday gift. I purchased it for a similar price to the large national retailers that do not seem to care about customer service or honouring online deliveries. Taunton Leisure/Ellie ensured this item was despatched accordingly with next day delivery in time for my birthday. Really impressed with the jacket and really impressed with the service received from Ellie and the overall experience of shopping with Taunton Leisure. Will look to Taunton first in the future.....Brill

    Absolutely recommend this coat, bought for my husbands birthday! He loves it, says it is very warm and comfortable. Colour is Lovely with the mustard inside and zips. Only slight downfall is a couple of tiny holes have formed where the feather filling is coming out already.
