What is the Cirrus Jacket?
It's an update to Rab's popular Cirrus Jacket—now with a fresh new design that's warmer than previous versions and an updated fit.
The Cirrus Jacket is a versatile synthetically insulated jacket ideal for various outdoor and everyday adventures in cold, unpredictable climates when you need the warmth of a down jacket without the faff.
What is it made from?
Insulation: The Cirrus Jacket uses 177g of PrimaLoft® Silver Rise synthetic insulation for warmth, which is made from 100% recycled polyamide from post-consumer recycled material. PrimaLoft® Silver Rise is lightweight and highly durable insulation with a unique construction that allows it to resist compression. It boasts an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio comparable to high-quality natural down without any of the faff, making it a great vegan alternative to down that can still perform even when wet.
Outer and lining: The outer and lining are constructed from Pertex Quantum, which is made from recycled polyamide. The outer uses a slightly thicker 30-denier fabric for added durability and a clean, smooth finish, while the lining uses a lighter-weight 20-denier material for optimum breathability and comfort.
Pertex Quantum is an incredibly lightweight yet durable material that will protect you from wind and light rain. It's also exceptionally breathable and highly packable, making it ideal for slightly more intense activities such as mountaineering and climbing, when you may be layering and de-layering more frequently and will need to pack the jacket away.
This material is coated in a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent) to allow light rain and snow to bead and roll off the surface. However, please note that this does not make the jacket waterproof.
What are its features?
The Cirrus Jacket features a cosy stand collar to protect the back of your neck from cold winds and drafts. The jacket is fastened with a centre front zip with an insulated zip baffle to help prevent heat loss through the zip and a fleece-lined chin guard to avoid any discomfort around the face when fully zipped.
For storage, you'll find two zipped hand pockets for your trail essentials and an inner security chest pocket that's ideal for more valuable belongings or items that you want to keep out of the cold, such as a mobile phone or car keys. The chest pocket doubles as an integrated storage pocket, allowing the jacket to be packed down when not in use, so it will take up less space in your backpack. This integrated storage pocket also has a clip-in-loop for attaching to a harness or outer pack with a carabiner. YKK® zippers are used throughout for smooth and easy operation.
Elasticated gussets at the cuffs provide the optimal fit over chunky gloves and bare hands. A dual-sided hem adjustment with an anti-snag tether helps trap warm air inside the jacket, keeping you warm and comfortable even when popping it on over bulky layers.
