Is the Rab Microlight Alpine warm enough for winter?

It works as a midlayer in winter and as an outer layer in cool, dry conditions. In deep cold, wear it under a shell or a heavier parka.

It has a slim fit, so it sits close to the body. Size up if you plan to layer a fleece underneath.

What is the down fill?

It uses RDS-certified down and feather filling in a recycled nylon ripstop shell with a water-repellent finish.

Yes. It has an attached hood and a high collar for coverage.
