What is the Cubit Down Parka?
The Cubit Parka will soon become your favourite go-to layer for commuting, hiking, dog walking and everything in between. This warm, snug and light Parka combines Pertex 3DWeave pre-woven baffle technology with recycled hydrophobic down and stretch fabric to give you a great all-round layer.
What is it made of?
Insulation: Rab has created a longer length winter parka that is stuffed with 250g of 700FP recycled P.U.R.ECertified Down. As well as providing superb insulation all that high quality down has been treated to a special Hydrophobic process that was developed by Rab and Nikwax, basically each and every cluster of down is treated with special fluorocarbon free Nikwax product to make them perform better in damp conditions. Although the Cubit is not completely waterproof the Hydrophobic down filling dries much faster, absorbs less water and retains loft far better than untreated down.
Fabric: The outer Pertex Quantum fabric itself is breathable and weather resistant and has a fluorocarbon-free DWR finish, perfect for outdoor activities in cold winter weather. The 3D Weave Technology helps aid warmth and adds freedom of movement.
What are the features?
Starting from the top, you get a snug fitting down-filled hood with stretch binding to keep to worst of the cold off your head. Moving down the YKK Vislon front zip has a fleece lined chin guard at the top of it for added comfort. The 2 YKK zipped hand pockets are the ideal place to stash keys and your phone. To further seal out the elements and protect your lower back there’s a drawcord in the hem.
How does it fit?
The Cubit uses Rabs Women’s ‘Slim Fit’ which sits a bit snugger to your body than Rab’s ‘Regular’ fit. You will still be able to squeeze a couple of layers underneath it on those exceptionally chilly days, but’s predominantly designed to be worn over baselayers and lightweight fleeces.
