Can this be used as a layering piece under a shell? Or is it really designed only as a jacket?

dro3233111, Thanks for your question. The Rab Microlight Alpine eVent Down Jacket would be redundant if used as a layering piece. To illustrate, you would have a shell on top of another shell that has a down insulator built into it. If you are looking for a technical waterproof/breathable jacket that features fixed insulation, this is a great option. Rab does make some killer shells that you would want to layer under to toggle the warmth of the jacket. Check out the Latok series, if that is type of jacket you are looking for. I hope this is helpful for you.
