Rab says: 

Lightweight, packable insulated jacket with fleece side panels for breathability and superb mobility. Now with larger baffles and warm, high-loft synthetic insulation, it’s ideal as an outer in the warmer months or for layering in cold conditions.

Our Verdict

The Rab Cirrus Flex Insulated Hoody is a versatile, lightweight jacket that excels in various conditions, making it a solid choice for a lightweight, synthetic insulation piece. Weighing 429 grams in a medium size, it perfectly balances warmth and packability. The combination of recycled Pertex Quantum outer fabric and PrimaLoft Silver RISE insulation ensures the hoody delivers excellent warmth without adding unnecessary bulk.

On the trail, the Cirrus Flex is a reliable companion. The Thermic stretch fleece side panels provide impressive breathability and mobility, making it comfortable during high-energy activities. This hoody adapts well to varying environments. The under-helmet hood and articulated sleeves are well-designed features that enhance functionality, particularly when navigating challenging terrain.

The practical design is further evident in its thoughtful details: the YKK zips are smooth and durable, while the integrated storage pocket with a clip-in loop makes it easy to stow the jacket away when not in use. The slim fit is not restrictive, providing a flattering silhouette without sacrificing comfort.
