Product Information

Full details

The Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket is an exceptionally versatile insulator designed for mountain enthusiasts seeking reliable warmth across a range of year-round alpine activities, from summer climbing to winter skiing. Its key strength lies in its synthetic PrimaLoft Silver Rise insulation, which mimics the warmth and feel of down but offers superior performance in damp conditions, encased in a windproof and water-resistant Pertex Quantum shell. While highly effective in varied mountain weather, users should note it is water-resistant, not fully waterproof, and may require additional layering for extreme cold.

FAQs

Is the Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket waterproof?

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.

What type of insulation does this jacket use?

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.

Can I use this jacket in all seasons?

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.

How do I clean my Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket?

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.

Is the jacket suitable for climbing with a harness?

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.

Does this jacket come with a stuff sack?

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

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

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.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than usual or insulation seems flat.

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.

Water is no longer beading off the shell fabric; it's wetting out.

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.

Zipper feels stiff or snags frequently.

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.

Hood feels too loose or too tight with a helmet.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides reliable warmth even in damp conditions due to synthetic insulation
  • Highly versatile for year-round alpine activities (climbing, skiing, trekking)
  • Lightweight and packable with an integrated stuff sack
  • Windproof and water-resistant for good weather protection
  • Made with 100% recycled materials, offering an eco-friendly choice
  • Designed with practical, alpine-specific features like a helmet-compatible hood and harness-friendly hem

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, only water-resistant, requiring a hardshell in heavy rain
  • May require additional layering for extreme cold conditions
  • Synthetic insulation can be slightly bulkier than equivalent warmth down, though this jacket is noted for packability
  • The DWR coating will require reapplication over time to maintain water resistance

This jacket requires no complex setup; simply put it on and adjust the hem or hood for optimal fit and warmth. It is designed to be compatible with various layering systems, fitting comfortably over baselayers and under a waterproof hardshell if extreme weather dictates. Its design also ensures compatibility with climbing harnesses and backpacks, with features like a hem adjustment that stays secure. For care, it's recommended to follow the garment's care label. Generally, synthetic insulated jackets like the Cirrus Alpine should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for outdoor gear. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few tennis balls to help fluff the insulation and restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain insulation performance. The DWR coating will need reapplication periodically, especially after many washes, to maintain its water-resistant properties.
