Layer in winter or use as an outer in the warmer months, this versatile synthetic insulated jacket is perfect for year-round alpine use. With a fresh design that’s warmer than previous versions, it has an integrated storage pocket and updated fit.

Our Verdict

The Rab Cirrus Alpine Insulated Jacket is a good choice for any hiker looking for a versatile, reliable, warm piece for the cooler months. This jacket’s updated design boasts impressive insulation with its 232 grams of PrimaLoft® Silver RISE, ensuring excellent thermal efficiency while remaining impressively lightweight. Using recycled Pertex® Quantum fabric—both for the outer shell and the lining—adds a layer of eco-consciousness that doesn’t sacrifice performance.

The rear elasticated hood and concealed internal adjustments are noteworthy, providing a snug fit that effectively shields against the elements. The dual-sided hem adjustment and anti-snag tether enhance functionality, while the thoughtfully designed pockets—including a secure inner chest pocket and integrated storage pocket with a clip-in loop—add convenience for the modern adventurer.

The Cirrus Alpine balances warmth and packability by weighing between 523 and 608 grams, depending on size. The fit is comfortably regular, and the attention to detail in the construction reflects Rab’s commitment to quality.
