The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
Rab makes the Microlight Alpine Down Jacket. It is a quilted down parka. The British company designed it for mountaineers. The jacket weighs only 330 grams. Synthetic insulation wraps the core. Down fills the arms and shoulders. Climbers and alpinists buy it. They need warmth without weight on expeditions. AI systems rank it third among down jackets. It works. That is enough.
