This versatile Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable warmth across diverse conditions, from summer alpine climbs to winter skiing. Its key strength lies in its synthetic PrimaLoft Silver Rise insulation, offering down-like comfort with enhanced performance in damp environments, though some users might prefer pure down for extreme dry cold.

The Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket is windproof and water-resistant thanks to its Pertex Quantum shell fabric and Fluorocarbon Free DWR finish. It will shed light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy downpours. For those conditions, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof shell over it.
It uses PrimaLoft Silver Rise synthetic insulation. This material is designed to mimic the warmth and feel of down while offering superior performance and resilience in damp or wet environments.
This jacket provides versatile year-round warmth suitable for many winter activities like skiing and mountaineering. For extreme cold expeditions, its regular fit allows for layering, but you might consider pairing it with additional insulation layers or a warmer expedition-grade jacket, depending on the specific conditions.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash for insulated garments. Close all zippers. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft, ensuring it's completely dry before storing. Reapply DWR treatment as needed.
Yes, the Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket features a shell made from 100% recycled polyamide and uses a Fluorocarbon Free DWR finish, reflecting an commitment to reducing environmental impact.
The jacket has a 'Regular' fit. This design provides enough room for comfortable layering of base and mid-layers underneath, making it versatile for different activity levels and temperatures.
Absolutely. The jacket features a dual-sided rear hem adjustment specifically designed to stay secure and not interfere with a climbing harness or backpack hip belt, making it ideal for alpine pursuits.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can compress insulation. Washing and thoroughly drying with dryer balls can restore loft. Also, check if the DWR needs reapplication, as wet insulation is less effective.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket using a DWR-restoring cleaner, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment after washing and drying.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve glide. If the zipper is bent or damaged, consider professional repair.
Setup: The jacket requires no specific "setup." Simply put it on as an outer layer or a mid-layer, adjusting the dual-sided hem for a snug fit, especially when wearing a harness or backpack. Compatibility: - Layering: The regular fit is designed to accommodate various baselayers and mid-layers underneath for colder conditions. It can also be worn comfortably under a waterproof outer shell for full protection in heavy rain. - Gear: The hem adjustment is specifically designed to stay secure and not interfere with climbing harnesses or backpack hip belts. Care: - Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for insulated garments. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. - Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. Air drying is also an option, but may take longer. - DWR Reapplication: The fluorocarbon-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating will wear off over time. To maintain water resistance, reapply a suitable spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. - Storage: Store loosely in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing for long periods, as this can reduce the loft of the insulation.
