Our Verdict
The Rab Cirrus Insulated Vest is an exceptional addition to any hiker’s kit, offering a perfect blend of warmth and versatility. Designed for use year-round, this vest excels as a layering piece in colder conditions and as a standalone outer layer when the temperatures are milder. Rab has refined this latest version with improved warmth, thanks to the PrimaLoft® Silver RISE insulation, which provides excellent loft and heat retention without adding bulk.
The vest’s Pertex® Quantum outer and lining, made from recycled materials, offer impressive durability while remaining environmentally conscious. The DWR finish helps repel light moisture, making it suitable for unpredictable mountain weather. Weighing just 319 grams for a medium, the Cirrus Insulated Vest is lightweight yet practical, easily packed into its integrated storage pocket, including a handy clip-in loop for secure stowing.
Practical features like the YKK® VISLON® centre zip with an insulated baffle, fleece-lined chin guard, and elasticated armholes enhance comfort and functionality. The vest includes two concealed hand pockets and a zipped inner security chest pocket, providing ample storage for small essentials.
