Rab Cirrus Flex 2.0 Hoody - Green

The Rab Cirrus Flex 2.0 Hoody features a Pertex Quantum shell fabric with a fluorocarbon-free DWR finish, making it windproof and highly water-resistant. It will shed light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy, sustained downpours without an additional waterproof outer shell.

Yes, the PrimaLoft Silver Rise synthetic insulation provides excellent warmth. Its performance in very cold temperatures will depend on your activity level and your overall layering system. For extreme cold, it's designed to be an effective mid-layer, providing crucial warmth under a waterproof outer shell.

PrimaLoft synthetic insulation provides warmth similar to down but excels in damp conditions, retaining most of its insulating properties even when wet. It's also typically more durable and easier to care for than down. While high-fill power down might offer a slightly better warmth-to-weight ratio in dry, cold conditions, synthetic insulation like PrimaLoft is often preferred for changeable or wet environments due to its resilience.

Yes, you can machine wash the Rab Cirrus Flex 2.0 Hoody. Use a cold (30°C/86°F) gentle cycle with a technical cleaner for insulated garments. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and ensure it is tumble dried on low with dryer balls to restore loft and maintain the insulation's performance.

The jacket features a 'slim fit,' designed to sit close to your body for efficient layering and minimal bulk. This fit enhances mobility and packability. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear very thick base layers or mid-layers underneath, consider sizing up.

No, the Rab Cirrus Flex 2.0 Hoody does not come with a separate stuff sack. It is designed to be highly packable and can be compressed and stored directly into its own left-hand side pocket, which includes a harness attachment loop for convenience.

This hoody is exceptionally versatile, ideal for climbing, trekking, general outdoor use, and mountaineering. Its enhanced mobility, synthetic insulation, and weather resistance make it suitable for active pursuits in changeable conditions throughout the year, functioning as both an outer or mid-layer.

Ensure the hem and cuffs are cinched tightly to trap heat effectively. Consider your layering system; this jacket functions best as a mid-layer in very cold conditions, especially with a suitable base layer and outer shell. In damp extreme cold, a waterproof outer layer is crucial.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reactivated or re-applied. First, wash the jacket as per care instructions with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't work, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer product suitable for synthetic insulation.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently free it. If clear, gently rub a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth and puller to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.
