FAQs

What type of insulation does the Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket use?

It uses PrimaLoft® Silver RISE synthetic insulation, which offers high-loft warmth and performs exceptionally well even in damp conditions, mimicking the feel of down.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is not fully waterproof. It features a 20D Recycled Pertex® Quantum fabric with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which provides excellent water resistance against light rain and snow, but it is not designed for sustained heavy downpours.

Can I layer other clothing underneath this jacket?

Yes, absolutely. The jacket has a regular fit specifically designed to accommodate both summer and winter base and mid-layers, allowing you to customize your warmth for various conditions.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

The Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket is highly versatile and ideal for climbing, mountaineering, skiing, hill walking, trekking, and general use in cold and damp winter conditions.

How should I wash and care for my jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner for synthetic insulation. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft. Periodically reactivate or reapply the DWR treatment as needed.

What is Pertex® Quantum fabric?

Pertex® Quantum is a lightweight, soft, and packable fabric designed to trap still air and improve the efficiency of insulation. It offers a good balance of breathability, weather resistance (especially with DWR), and durability.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs 516g for a size Medium.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem warm enough.

Ensure you are using an appropriate layering system for the conditions. The jacket is an insulating layer; consider a warm base layer and/or mid-layer underneath. Also, check that the hood, cuffs, and hem adjustments are snug to prevent heat loss.

Water is not beading on the fabric surface.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivation or reapplication. First, try tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting. If this doesn't restore water repellency, wash the jacket with a DWR-restoring cleaner or apply a spray-on DWR treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Zipper is stiff or snagging.

Gently try to free any fabric caught in the zipper. If it's still stiff, clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil along the teeth.

Jacket feels bulky or restricts movement when wearing a harness/backpack.

Adjust the dual-sided rear hem drawcord to lift the hem above your harness or hip belt. Ensure your base and mid-layers are not excessively bulky, allowing the jacket to sit correctly.

Jacket has an odor after prolonged use.

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions using a technical cleaner designed for synthetic insulation. Ensure it is thoroughly dried to prevent mildew.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional warmth in cold and damp conditions due to advanced synthetic insulation.
  • Superior resilience in wet environments compared to traditional down insulation.
  • Made with 100% Recycled Polyamide and Fluorocarbon Free DWR, promoting environmental responsibility.
  • Highly versatile for a broad range of alpine and winter sports, from climbing to skiing.
  • Practical features like numerous pockets and harness-compatible hem adjustment enhance functionality.
  • Pertex Quantum outer fabric offers a good balance of weather resistance, breathability, and packability.

Cons

  • Regular fit may be less suitable for those who prefer a very slim, athletic silhouette.
  • While excellent, synthetic insulation may be slightly heavier or bulkier than equivalent dry-performing down insulation.
  • DWR treatment requires periodic reapplication or care to maintain optimal water repellency.
  • Info needed: Specific washing instructions beyond general care for synthetic insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Use

No complex setup is required. Simply wear the jacket over your desired base and mid-layers. For optimal performance, ensure the hood and hem adjustments are snug to seal in warmth.

Compatibility

  • Layering: The jacket's regular fit is designed to accommodate various base and mid-layers, from thin summer base layers to thicker winter fleeces. Experiment with your layering system to find the ideal combination for your activity and conditions.
  • Harnesses & Backpacks: The dual-sided rear hem adjustment is specifically designed to sit comfortably above a climbing harness or under a backpack hip belt, preventing bunching and ensuring full mobility.

Care Instructions

To maintain the performance and longevity of your Rab Cirrus Alpine Jacket, especially its PrimaLoft® insulation and DWR finish, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for synthetic insulation and DWR-treated fabrics. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the DWR and insulation.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls to help loft the insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain insulation performance.
  3. DWR Reactivation/Reapplication: Over time, the DWR finish may lose effectiveness. You can often reactivate it by tumble drying on low heat after washing. If water no longer beads on the fabric, consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically for technical outerwear.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry, ideally hanging or loosely folded, in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for extended periods, as this can reduce the loft of the synthetic insulation.
  5. Zippers: Periodically clean zippers and apply a zipper lubricant if they become stiff or difficult to operate.
