- James takes us through the main features of Rab's newest insulated jacket, the Cirrus Ultra. The Cirrus range has been a staple in the outdoor community for years and is one of our best-sellers. This year @RabEquipment has really stepped it up by combining their new heat-reflective TILT lining with new insulation that lofts like down and performs in the wet like a synthetic jacket, the Cirrus Ultra really is ready for everything.

Would be interested in comparison with the P
Oreus from Mountain Equipment
coming up soon!
Utter bollocks, I’m fed up of Rab marketing and price nonsense!! Much cheaper brands just as good!!! 😡
@@grahamjones2454 fair enough.
How does it compare to Xenair Alpine Jacket? Thanks
Xenair alpine is more braathable and hence more for active use. The cirrus ultra will offer more warmth for the weight and pack size but not as breathable. So the cirrus is better for static use. Hope this helps
Give it pit zips to help with the breathability and it would be much better
Very much a jacket built for maximum warmth for weight ratio. Pit zips at wright and cost and would lose some heat.
Really thorough review thanks.
I have a patagonia nano for similr reasons you say about down in the damp UK.
I assume this is much warmer?
I find the nano has its limits and wonder about upgrading for winter but with versatility for staying warmer than down if wetted through.
@@jonarific8504 I would say noticeably warmer than a nano puff. Much thicker with out being much heavier. Also warm very quickly with the tilt liner.
Nice jacket
I'd imagine pretty much all year round here in Scotland. Summer and winter aren't that different. At least in terms of how wet it gets.
@@border304 too right!

AMAZING VIDEO!
Thank you
Almost anything is better than a down jacket. Get it wet, it's useless. It has to be babied constantly. In any environment with actual weather, or if you're going out for more than a couple of hours, leave your down at home. Polartec alphatech, a polyester fleece midlayer, and a good raincoat works best for me.
Rab is frustrating. Most of their gear is almost good, but let down by one or two misfeatures. In this case, no armpit vents. And Rab is pricy.
Down jackets were never invented for wet UK climates they were invented for dry alpine activities. Down is superior in terms of warmth and longevity whereas synthetic wears out when it's been crumpled a few thousand times whereas down is still going strong. Every type of garment has its own strengths and weaknesses .
