Rab have used their new Cirrus insulation for the Womens Nebula hooded Jacket; Cirrus is a 3M Featherless synthetic insulation that provides a high performance alternative to natural down. It was designed to mimic the look and feel of natural down with all the benefits and none of the drawbacks. It retains two times the loft of down when wet, breathes superbly, has no allergens, retains warmth even when wet (more so than Hydrophobic down), compresses easily and dries exceptionally quickly.
Rab have used this amazing new insulation in the Nebula Jacket to produce a mid-weight synthetic insulated jacket with the equivalent warmth to weight ratio of 600 fill power down insulation. Midi stitch through baffles keep the insulation in place and give the Nebula a purposeful and minimalist look. The filling compresses well when packed and is robust and durable so it retains loft after repeated compression. Its resistance to moisture, warmth when wet and speed of drying are extremely high; superior even to Hydrophobic down and previous synthetic insulation.
The filling is protected by lightweight but tough Pertex Endurance fabric which offers protection from windblown snow and light rain without adding bulk. The combination of insulation and fabrics provide unparalleled levels of breathability making the Nebula perfect for active use in cold and damp conditions both as a mid layer or stand alone jacket. Despite the high water resistance of the face fabric the Nebula is not 100% waterproof, so always pack a shell if, and when, the weather turns really nasty.
You get high quality YKK zips throughout and there is a neat zipped internal pocket to keep your phone nice and safe. Lycra bound cuffs and the hem drawcord keep out the drafts and retain the minimalist theme. When not required the Nebula will pack into its own pocket and stash easily into your pack making it perfect jacket for all winter mountain activities.
