FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Rab Cirrus Flex 2.0 Hoody features a Pertex® Quantum outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which provides good resistance to light rain and snow. However, it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

Can I wear this jacket in winter?

Yes, for winter activities, it excels as an insulated mid-layer under a waterproof shell jacket. For milder winter days or high-output activities, it can be worn as an outer layer. Its synthetic insulation performs well in damp, cold conditions often encountered in winter.

How do I pack the jacket into its own pocket?

Locate the inside-out pocket (usually the left-hand pocket). Start by stuffing one sleeve into the pocket, then the other sleeve, followed by the main body of the jacket. Compress it evenly until the entire jacket is inside the pocket, then zip it closed. There's often a harness loop inside this pocket.

What is PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Luxe™?

PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Luxe™ is a high-performance synthetic insulation designed to mimic the loft and feel of down, but with superior wet-weather performance. It's made from 100% recycled materials and offers excellent warmth, breathability, and compressibility.

Is the hood compatible with climbing helmets?

Yes, the hood is specifically designed as an 'under-helmet' hood. Its semi-elasticated and hybrid construction (including fleece) allows it to fit snugly and comfortably beneath most climbing or cycling helmets, providing warmth without adding bulk.

What is the fit of this jacket?

The Cirrus Flex 2.0 Hoody has a 'slim fit'. This means it's designed to sit close to your body for efficient heat retention and minimal bulk, making it ideal for layering and active pursuits.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't feel as warm as expected.

Ensure you have appropriate base layers for the conditions. Synthetic insulation provides consistent warmth, but for very cold temperatures, it's designed to be part of a layering system. Also, ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can compress insulation and reduce its effectiveness.

Water repellency seems to have decreased.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off over time. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof/water-resistant outerwear to clean and reactivate the DWR. If needed, apply a new spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.

Check the zipper teeth for any trapped fabric or debris. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it continues to stick, a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil can often help to smooth its operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for its category.
  • Performs effectively in damp and wet conditions due to synthetic insulation.
  • High breathability and mobility from stretch fleece panels, ideal for active use.
  • Very packable, making it easy to carry as a backup layer.
  • Made with 100% recycled outer fabric, lining, and insulation for sustainability.
  • Versatile for use as an outer layer or a mid-layer across seasons.

Cons

  • Slim fit might limit bulky layering underneath for some users.
  • While water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof for heavy rain.
  • Not designed as a standalone jacket for extreme cold temperatures.
  • Synthetic insulation can be bulkier than down when not compressed tightly.

The Cirrus Flex 2.0 Hoody requires no complex setup; simply take it out of its pack sack (if stored) and put it on. For optimal performance, ensure it's worn over a wicking base layer to manage moisture effectively. Its slim fit is designed to integrate seamlessly into a layering system, making it compatible with a waterproof shell on top and a lightweight base layer underneath. To care for your hoody, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner suitable for synthetic insulation and DWR-treated fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish and the insulation's loft. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help redistribute the insulation. The fluorocarbon-free DWR can be revitalized periodically using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer if water repellency diminishes.
