Rab Cirrus Flex Hooded Jacket - Black - L

The jacket uses PrimaLoft Silver RISE synthetic insulation, which is known for its high loft, warmth-to-weight ratio, and performance even when wet.

No, the Rab Cirrus Flex is not fully waterproof. It uses synthetic insulation that performs well when damp and recovers quickly if wet, but for heavy rain, you'll need to wear a waterproof shell over it.

Yes, it's designed for year-round versatility. You can wear it as an outer layer in milder conditions or as a highly effective insulating mid-layer when temperatures drop.

Always check the care label. Typically, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water and a technical wash designed for synthetic insulation. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls or air dry flat.

The fleece side panels enhance breathability during active use, reduce bulk for easier layering, and provide superb freedom of movement, contributing to overall comfort during strenuous activities.

While warm for its weight, for extreme sub-zero temperatures, it's best used as part of a comprehensive layering system rather than a standalone outer layer. Its active insulation properties are optimized for movement.

The jacket is designed to be very light and highly packable, allowing it to be easily compressed and stowed in a backpack, making it convenient for travel and varying conditions.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers for the conditions. This jacket is designed for active insulation; for static activities or very cold weather, layer it with a heavier fleece or shell. Check if the jacket is wet, as even synthetic insulation performs best when dry.

The fleece side panels are designed for breathability. If you're still sweating, consider unzipping for ventilation or removing a layer. Ensure your base layer is wicking moisture effectively to move it away from your body.

Follow proper washing and drying instructions carefully. Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the insulation's loft. Avoid over-compressing for storage.

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth before pulling. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if the problem persists. Never force a stuck zipper, as this can damage the teeth.
