Rab Women's Microlighter Pullover Hoody

Rab Women's Microlighter Pullover Hoody

A true year-round down-insulated pullover hoody built for women who want lightweight, packable warmth that layers easily from summer crag evenings to winter hikes without the bulk of a traditional down jacket. The Microlighter's TXdown recycled down-infused sheet insulation, Pertex Quantum outer from recycled fishing nets, and low-bulk baffles deliver genuine warmth in a breathable, compressible pullover that disappears in a pack and reappears whenever you need it.

Why We Carry It
It's the down pullover we recommend for climbers, hikers, and fastpackers who want a lightweight, year-round insulating layer that compresses small, layers easily, and performs from summer evening belays to cold winter approaches without carrying a heavier jacket for every objective.

Highlights

• TXdown recycled down-infused sheet insulation at 50gsm — A sheet-form insulation that integrates recycled down into a flat, consistent structure that sits closer to the body than traditional baffled down for lower bulk, easier layering, and more even warmth distribution without the cold spots that develop between standard down baffles.
• 30D Pertex Quantum with NetPlus from recycled fishing nets at 43 g/m² — A lightweight, durable face fabric made from recycled ocean fishing nets with fluorocarbon-free DWR for weather resistance and a meaningfully reduced environmental footprint without compromising performance or longevity.
• Low-bulk baffles for easy layering and pack compression — Baffle construction that sits flatter against the body than standard down jacket baffles for a lower-profile fit under a shell or harness and a smaller packed size in a climbing pack or fastpacking kit.
• Highly breathable for active use — A breathable construction that stays comfortable during movement on the trail, the rockface, and variable-effort approaches without the heat buildup that less breathable down jackets create during active use.
• Articulated sleeves for climbing and bouldering mobility — Sleeve construction that follows the natural arm position for unrestricted reach overhead and through technical climbing moves without the pulling that a non-articulated sleeve creates during high-angle movement.
• Close-fitting hood with stretch binding — A comfortable, low-profile hood that provides genuine wind protection without the volume that creates helmet incompatibility or excess bulk under a belay device or harness.
• Lightweight half-zip with insulated baffle — A pull-on style with a half-zip for ventilation and on-the-go temperature adjustment without a full-length zipper adding weight or breaking the clean pullover silhouette.
• Stuffs into its own hand pocket with clip-in loops — Packs into one of its own hand pockets for compact storage with two clip-in loops that attach the packed jacket to a backpack or sling for accessible carry without opening the main compartment.
• Drawcord adjustable hem — Seals out draughts at the waist for warmth retention on cold belays and windy ridges without a fixed hem that gaps in variable conditions.
• 9.7-ounce weight — A genuinely lightweight down pullover that earns its place in a minimalist climbing or fastpacking kit without demanding a dedicated compartment or meaningful weight sacrifice.
