Buying this to replace a previous one, which has been more or less lived in for two years. It has withstood climbing, ice climbing, backpacking and even rafting trips. Light, highly compressible and over all a great pick. One drawback I noticed on my previous jacket was that the zipper eventually began to invert itself when zipping up making it difficult to unzip. But taking it on and off and on and off so many times while climbing and belaying will take its toll.

Living in the Pacific Northwest I was freezing so I spent the money for a warmer jacket. It fits great. I have no belly fat, yet muscular built. I would'nt want it any smaller but XL is usually a little big on me. I wear it under my gortex rain coat when it is wet and just the jacket when dry. It is a really light jacket. I like it so far with no complaints.

Second One

Absolutely beat on an older version and wore in every type of weather around the world (biggest test was cold and rain in Ireland) Eventually the zipper failed and I had to make the decision whether to fix that or get a new one. Decided it was time to retire the first. 5’11 range in weight from 180 to 210 haha. True size large in everything and size large in this jacket. Fits great no matter what weight I’m all. I don’t have any problem with the sleeve length or tight fitting chest. This is a pretty much do it all down jacket.

Fits larger than expected.

Just received my Rab Microlight Alpine Jacket 2020 Edition in color Beluga. It’s one sharp jacket, superb all around. I may be the first to write this though...from all the reviews I’ve read, I ordered an XL based on all of them saying the jacket fits small. Well, I first put the jacket on wearing a sweater and I feel I could have went with a Size L. I’m an athletic build. I was worried it would fit tight around the armpits from what I read but there’s more than enough room. It fits a little larger than I truly expected. So, to me, it’s true to size. However, it will allow me to wear a flannel or layer up underneath with no constraints. Everyone should own one of these, thanks Mr. Carrington, cheers!

For the Rab Microlight Alpine Down Jacket, is the thread used to sew it together made of nylon, cotton, or something else?
