The Womens Cirque jacket is Rab’s lightweight and hugely versatile duck down jacket that is suitable for just about any activity where you need low-bulk warmth and a good pack size. Rab have got their womens cut absolutely bang on with a more feminine shape that fits without being tight or restrictive and this jacket features sculpted baffles for a more flattering style.
To further increase the practicality of the Cirque Rab have used Hydrophobic down, basically each and every cluster of down is treated at source with Nikwax environmentally friendly, fluorocarbon free special products to make them perform better in damp conditions. Although Hydrophobic down is not waterproof it dries much faster, absorbs less water and retains loft far better than untreated down.
Rab have managed to stuff the Cirque with 260g of 650 fill power Hydrophobic Duck Down which has passed the European Down and Feather Codex. This code of conduct determines the source of the down; ensuring that the down is a by-product of a slaughterhouse or harvested during moulting periods and is not illegally live-plucked. This means that the down inside the Ascent is completely ethical and of high quality.
Rab continue to use high quality components such as YKK zips throughout to ensure reliable performance in all conditions. The neat down filled collar greatly reduces drafts and spindrift ingress and there is one zipped internal security pocket, ideal for GPS or mobile phones and you get a separate stuff sack to easily pack the jacket away when not required.
The Cirque warm, yet still lightweight and excellent value for money. If your demands are not too technical or you just want maximum warmth for minimum pounds, then this the jacket for you.
