The Rab Microlight Alpine eVent Jacket is a clever fusion of warm down duvet jacket and a super lightweight, fully taped 2-layer eVent® shell, making it super warm, breathable and waterproof.
The issue that you can have with down jackets (especially in the UK!) is that they don't like getting wet. Down is fantastic insulator but loses a lot of its warmth when wet - it is also very hard to dry satisfactorily. The addition of a fully waterproof, breathable outer layer means that you needn't worry about going out in the rain or in soggy snow as your jacket - and you - are fully protected from the elements.
This jacket is perfect for alpine climbing, mountain walking in cooler conditions and belaying at the crag.
