What is the Cirrus Jacket?

The Cirrus Jacket should be in every outdoor enthusiast's kit cupboard. The combination of a fully recycled Cirrus HL insulation and recycled Pertex Quantum outer fabric makes it perfect for virtually any outdoor activity, from winter mountaineering to dog walking. In our wet, windy and unpredictable climate, the Cirrus Jacket just makes sense.

What is it made of?

Insulation: Starting with what gives the Cirrus its warmth, Rab use their completely synthetic and fully recycled Cirrus HL (high loft) insulation to ensure warmth in almost all conditions. Down is still the lightest and warmest insulation available, however, it can't deal with wet conditions, rendering it almost useless if the heavens open and you're stuck without a shell. The Cirrus Jacket, on the other hand, will retain around 90% of its warmth, even when soaking wet, making it a far more versatile option for those who are after a do-it-all jacket for cold, damp conditions. This latest variant of Cirrus feels more like down than ever before; it lofts similarly and has that 'light and fluffy' feel. As well as this, it's fully recycled, so not only are you getting a fantastic jacket but one with environmental credentials to match.

Fabrics: Surrounding the insulation is a fully recycled Pertex Quantum outer fabric. Quantum packs down to a fraction of its original size, weighs very little and features a durable water repellent coating to provide weather protection if you get caught in the rain without a shell. Inside, a similar fabric is used but in a lighter, softer, more pliable variant.

What are the features?

Two hand pockets and one internal pocket store all your usual bits and bobs, while lightweight stretchy cuffs and an adjustable hem allow you to trap extra warmth or conversely ventilate if you get a bit toasty. Lastly, the Cirrus will pack into its own pocket for compact storage when travelling.

How does it fit?

It features a very similar fit to Rab's legendary Microlight jacket. It's an average fit in the body with enough room in the shoulders and back to stay put while reaching above your head. Length is also about average, suiting 99% of users.

Where does it fit in the layering system?

The Cirrus Jacket can either be used as a super-warm midlayer with a shell over the top in wet, windy conditions or as an outer layer the rest of the time. Thanks to the wind and water-resistant outer fabric and low-maintenance insulation, it can be used on its on far more than a traditional down jacket.

How Should Your Insulated Jacket Fit?

Insulated jackets are pedantic little things. Too tight and you'll compress the insulation and limit the warmth capabilities of your brand new jacket, too loose and you'll spend hours warming up the dead space inside the jacket. Getting the correct fit isn't just about aesthetics, it will determine how warm you are. 

The Incorrect Fit

Too loose: A jacket which is too loose will keep you relatively warm, however it will take far longer to do so and will waste large amounts of your precious energy. An insulated jacket works by trapping the natural heat that your body gives off in the fibres of the insulation; this creates a micro-climate inside your jacket, keeping you warm and toasty. If your jacket is too loose, heat will be able to escape through the hem, the sleeves and the neck of the jacket; it's a little like sticking the heating on in your car with the windows cracked open - it will heat up, just incredibly slowly.   

Too tight: A jacket which is too tight is arguably worse than one that is too loose. If your jacket is far too tight, the baffles can compress to a point where the insulation can't loft effectively, limiting the amount of warmth it can trap. Essentially, it won't work! 

The Correct Fit
It's a tricky one to explain, but it's somewhere in the middle. You've first got to consider how many layers you'll tend to wear underneath; will you have just a t-shirt then the jacket, or possibly a baselayer, midlayer and then the jacket? When you've figured out your layers and you've popped your insulated jacket over the top, you shouldn't have any dead space inside. The cuffs and hem should be comfortably sealed around your waist and wrists with room to move. You should be able to lift an arm up above your head without the hem of the jacket lifting more than an inch or so, and the sleeves should be long enough that when carrying out the same motion, they aren't mid-way up your forearm. Your shoulders and chest area should have enough room so that your hands can touch behind your back without feeling restricted. 

Additional Information
Lastly, consider which activites you'll primarily be carrying out while wearing the jacket. Are you primarily using it as a winter climbing piece, or an everyday/dog walking jacket? You'll find that technical climbing jackets tend to feature a shorter cut, while urban and casual jackets feature a longer cut to offer additional warmth with less mobility.
