Description
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“I’ve used the Microlight Windstopper Hoody on blustery ridge hikes and high-elevation scrambles—it blocks the wind better than any down layer I’ve used. It packs up small, has great warmth for the weight, and the helmet-compatible hood is perfect for climbing or ski touring.”
When unpredictable alpine weather turns icy and relentless, we trust the Microlight Windstopper Hoodie to keep us warm and shielded. Rab’s most protective version of their iconic down jacket pairs lightweight warmth with robust windproofing, thanks to GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER®. Zoned baffle construction optimizes loft where we need it and reduces bulk where we don’t—so we stay agile on steep ground.
Built for everything from summit pushes to cold belays, this hoody includes a helmet-compatible hood, stretch cuffs, and a streamlined fit for seamless layering. It stows into its hand pocket for fast packing, and recycled 700-fill down with hydrophobic treatment keeps us warm even in damp conditions. Whether we’re skinning in or climbing out, this hoodie brings dependable, year-round insulation to the heart of the mountains.
