The jacket uses PrimaLoft Silver RISE synthetic insulation. This high-loft synthetic insulation is designed to offer warmth and packability similar to down, but with the added benefit of performing exceptionally well even when damp.

Yes, for mild to cool conditions, or when engaging in high-output activities, the Cirrus Flex works excellent as a standalone outer layer due to its wind and water-resistant shell and breathable fleece panels.

Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical outdoor cleaner. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or air dry completely before storing to maintain insulation loft and DWR performance.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time or with frequent washing. Wash the jacket following the care instructions, and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, consider applying a new DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor synthetic apparel.

Perspiration and environmental factors can cause odors. Wash the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions, using a technical outdoor cleaner. Ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew or persistent odors.
