Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket - Army - X-Large

No, the jacket is highly water-resistant thanks to its Pertex Quantum shell with a DWR finish, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, you would need to wear a dedicated waterproof hardshell over it.

It uses PrimaLoft Silver Rise, which is a 100% recycled synthetic insulation. It's designed to mimic the warmth and feel of down but performs better in damp conditions.

Yes, its versatile design and synthetic insulation make it suitable for year-round alpine use, providing warmth in cool to cold conditions. It can be used as an outer layer in milder weather or as a mid-layer in colder, harsher environments.

Refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner for outdoor gear, and tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.

Yes, the jacket features harness-compatible pockets and a dual-sided rear hem adjustment that is designed to stay secure and out of the way when wearing a climbing harness or backpack.

Yes, the Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket includes an integrated stuff sack, allowing it to be easily compressed and packed for transport.

It's ideal for a wide range of alpine and outdoor activities including climbing, general use, hill walking, mountaineering, skiing, and trekking, thanks to its durable, warm, and versatile design.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and body oils can compress insulation. Machine wash as per care instructions, using a technical cleaner and tumble drying with tennis balls to restore loft. Also, check your layering system; ensure you have appropriate baselayers for the temperature and activity.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating needs refreshing. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor technical apparel. Follow the product's instructions carefully for best results.

Check the zipper teeth for any trapped fabric or debris and gently remove it. Clean the zipper with a small brush and warm water. If it continues to be stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., zipper wax or silicone-based lubricant) to the teeth.

The hood is designed with an elasticated edge to fit snugly over a climbing helmet. Ensure your helmet is properly adjusted before putting the hood over it. If it still feels off, try adjusting the fit of the helmet or the drawcord on the back of the hood, if present, to optimize coverage.
