No, the jacket is water-resistant thanks to its DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the Pertex Quantum outer. It will shed light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged precipitation.
Yes, it's suitable for winter as an insulated mid-layer under a waterproof shell for colder temperatures or as an outer layer during mild, dry winter days. Its synthetic insulation performs well even if it gets damp.
The Rab Cirrus Flex Hooded Jacket is ideal for climbing, trekking, general hiking, and mountaineering, thanks to its balance of warmth, mobility, and weather protection.
Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a technical cleaner for outdoor apparel. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Reapply DWR treatment as needed to maintain water repellency. Consult the care label for specific instructions.
PrimaLoft® Silver RISE is a 100% recycled synthetic insulation designed to mimic the warmth and feel of down. Its key advantage is retaining warmth even when wet, making it highly effective in damp conditions and resistant to clumping.
The jacket has a 'slim fit,' meaning it's designed to sit closer to the body for efficient layering and mobility. We recommend consulting the Rab size guide to ensure you select the best size for your body type and intended layering.
It is highly packable and lightweight (446g for a medium size), designed to compress down easily, making it convenient to carry in a backpack without taking up much space.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the conditions. While the synthetic insulation is effective, it is designed for active use and may require additional layers in very cold, static environments. Also, verify the fit; a too-loose jacket can trap less warmth.
The DWR finish wears off over time with use and washing. Clean the jacket with a technical wash designed for DWR-treated garments, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't restore it, consider applying a new fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (designed for outdoor gear) along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
While designed for mobility, verify you have the correct size. A jacket that is too small will restrict movement despite the stretch panels. Also, ensure under-layers are not too bulky, which can impede the jacket's intended slim fit and articulation.
This jacket requires no special setup; simply put it on and adjust the hood and cuffs as needed. It's designed for compatibility as both an outer layer or a mid-layer. Its slim fit ensures it layers efficiently under a waterproof shell without feeling bulky, while the under-helmet hood integrates seamlessly with climbing helmets. For care, proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your jacket. It's generally recommended to wash technical synthetic insulation garments on a cool, gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for outdoor apparel. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the DWR finish and insulation. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls or air dry away from direct heat to help restore loft. Re-applying a fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment periodically will help maintain its water repellency.
