00:00:06,160 -- 00:00:08,320
Hi, I'm Tom from
Cotswold Outdoor in Harrogate.

2
00:00:08,600 -- 00:00:12,160
And today I'd like to talk to you about
the Rab Men's Microlight Alpine jacket.

3
00:00:12,400 -- 00:00:15,640
The Microlight Alpine jacket
is just at home on alpine peaks

4
00:00:15,640 -- 00:00:19,440
as it is going to the pub
and is available in three snazzy colours.

5
00:00:22,080 -- 00:00:22,880
It's really, really good.

6
00:00:22,880 -- 00:00:26,520
So, it has tons of technical features.

7
00:00:26,760 -- 00:00:29,680
The fit was revised
for its 10th anniversary last year,

8
00:00:29,880 -- 00:00:35,360
and it is a fantastic jacket
for packing up nice

9
00:00:35,360 -- 00:00:38,200
and small in your alpine bag to use
as a belay jacket, If you're sizing it up.

10
00:00:39,160 -- 00:00:41,480
You can size it down a little bit for

11
00:00:41,960 -- 00:00:43,320
if you're going to wear it
as like a winter

12
00:00:43,320 -- 00:00:46,600
booster layer is a mid-layer potentially
instead of over the top of everything.

13
00:00:47,280 -- 00:00:50,400
And it really does pack down very small.

14
00:00:50,880 -- 00:00:54,120
The Microlight Alpine has got your two
classic hand warmer pockets,

15
00:00:54,360 -- 00:00:56,040
as well as your Napoleon pocket

16
00:00:56,040 -- 00:00:59,720
for chocolate bar or compass or something
useful like that.

17
00:00:59,960 -- 00:01:01,560
And then the hood

18
00:01:02,720 -- 00:01:06,080
is stiffened and wired to be super cozy,

19
00:01:06,080 -- 00:01:09,800
as well as having two adjustment points
as well, either side of the neck.

20
00:01:26,160 -- 00:01:28,720
Super-snug, I'm really hot now.

21
00:01:29,320 -- 00:01:33,320
This micro-baffle jacket is packed
full of Nikwax hydrophobic down.

22
00:01:33,360 -- 00:01:36,760
So even in damp conditions,
it will still keep you warm with

23
00:01:37,920 -- 00:01:40,240
a Pertex Quantum face fabric.

24
00:01:40,440 -- 00:01:43,440
So windproof, very highly water-resistant.

25

Finally, you get the chin guard.

26

So even against the gnarliest of beards,

27

it will be super comfy
when you're belaying.

28

Thanks very much for watching.
