Product Information

Full details

The Rab Cirrus Alpine Insulated Jacket is designed for women seeking lightweight warmth without the bulk, ideal for layering or standalone wear in milder conditions. Its key benefit lies in the high-loft PrimaLoft Silver RISE insulation, which ensures immediate warmth. A potential caveat is its regular fit, which might not suit those preferring a very snug or very loose silhouette.

FAQs

What type of insulation does this jacket use?

The jacket uses PrimaLoft Silver RISE, a high-loft synthetic insulation designed to provide immediate warmth and retain thermal properties even when damp.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket features a windproof and water-resistant Pertex Quantum outer fabric. It is suitable for light rain or snow but should be layered with a waterproof jacket for heavy precipitation.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fleece or down wash and a front-loading machine. Close all zippers and fastenings. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls until fully dry.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The Cirrus Alpine is best suited for moderate cold or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For extreme cold, it might be necessary to pair it with a heavier insulated jacket or a robust layering system.

What does 'regular fit' mean for this jacket?

A regular fit is a standard cut that allows for comfortable movement and layering over other garments. It is neither excessively tight nor overly loose.

How do I pack the jacket for storage?

The jacket features an integrated storage pocket where it can be packed down. Avoid long-term storage in a compressed state to maintain insulation loft.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs approximately 435g (15.3oz) for a size 10.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the insulation is properly lofted. If the jacket has been compressed for a long time, tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to re-fluff the insulation. Check that all zippers and drawcords are properly sealed to prevent drafts.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Outer fabric feels damp after light rain.

The Pertex Quantum fabric is windproof and water-resistant but not waterproof. For heavy rain, layer a waterproof jacket over the Cirrus Alpine. Ensure the jacket is fully dry after use before storing.

Insulation appears to be clumping.

This can happen after washing. Ensure the jacket is completely dry and has been tumble dried on a low heat with tennis balls to redistribute the insulation effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides immediate and reliable warmth due to high-loft insulation.
  • Lightweight design makes it comfortable for extended wear and easy to layer.
  • Windproof fabric offers good protection against cold drafts.
  • Packable design makes it convenient for travel and variable conditions.
  • Features thoughtful details like a fleece-lined chin guard and adjustable hem.

Cons

  • Regular fit may not be ideal for all body types or layering preferences.
  • Primarily designed for moderate cold; may not be sufficient as a primary outer layer in extreme winter conditions.
  • While windproof, it is not fully waterproof.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The regular fit is designed to accommodate various body types and allows for layering over base layers and mid-layers. It can be worn effectively under a waterproof shell in wetter or colder conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical fleece or down wash, using a front-loading machine. Use a non-biological detergent and ensure all zippers and fastenings are closed.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore loft. Remove from the dryer periodically to break up clumps of insulation. Continue drying until completely dry.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to preserve insulation loft.
  5. Repairs: For minor repairs, use a seam sealer or repair tape. For larger issues, consult professional repair services.
