Rab’s new Microlight Windstopper takes an already brilliant jacket up a gear

Rab's new Microlight Windstopper jacket uses Gore-Tex Windstopper to block wind while keeping lightweight warmth and breathability for outdoor users.

  • On Friday, Rab launched the Rab Microlight Windstopper jacket with Gore-Tex Labs technology, and the article reviewer tested it on a windswept Norfolk beach, staying warm throughout.
  • Rab designed the Windstopper upgrade to completely stop wind ingress while keeping the Rab Microlight's light weight and packability, targeting end users who do not require waterproofing.
  • Pockets follow the classic Microlight pocket layout with one chest pocket, two hand pockets, and an integrated strap feature; the large helmet-fit hood stays secure only when the zip is fully closed, while breathability matches a lightweight-down comparison on mild days.
  • Despite a roughly 28-ish per cent price premium, the reviewer judged the Windstopper worth the cost, and retailers are likely to offer discounts around Black Friday.
  • Gore-Tex Labs' Windstopper positions Rab Microlight range with a membrane from a brand known for waterproof, breathable fabrics, preserving core strengths while adding an oversized hood that alters appearance.
