If you’re looking for a lightweight, versatile winter jacket, the Rab Altus Jacket is a great choice. Its Cirrus Flex technology and Pertex Quantum shell offer both the warmth and weight benefits of down without sacrificing breathability or durability.

The Cirrus Flex Rab Altus Jacket is similar to the Microlight jacket in many ways. Still, it has a down-like lining and synthetic insulation that performs better in wet conditions.
