I bought the new cirrus alpine a couple of weeks back, perfect for uk weather! I was concerned about down because of the care requirements and the performance in the wet (a UK staple). I can safely say im very impressed and would recommend.

Very helpful video ! Thank you for sharing. Can I ask you what a belay jacket is for ?
@tauntonleisure3 күн бұрын
Belay jackets are designed to keep you warm while assisting a climber as a belayer, where your role is to control the rope and ensure their safety. These jackets are not only warm but also feature a two-way zip, allowing you to stay bundled up while accommodating your climbing gear.

I have the Cirrus Flex from last year and my only gripe is the lack of zipped security pocket, according to all websites it says the newer version has a ykk zipped internal chest pocket, but in your video you explain there isn’t one unlike the cirrus Alpine. Can you confirm this?

@Hi, I managed to pop down to my local Rab supplier (Cotswold outdoors) and unfortunately the zipped security pocket does not come on either the cirrus flex or cirrus flex hoody. I will go for a midweight jacket like the cirrus alpine or microlight alpine jacket now. I think Rab needs to amend their website for false advertising. Many thanks. 🙂👍

@@chrishall4384 Thank you for your message. We will contact RAB and let them know. Im sure it was just a simple mistake.

Thanks for the reply. One final question, between the Rab nebula pro and Rab cirrus alpine which would be the better all round jacket for autumn/winter? Will the nebula be overkill? I like to wear my jacket over a t shirt on trips to the coast and around town. Many thanks.

@@chrishall4384 Its a tough question to answer with 100% certainty as we all feel temperature differently so what works for me many not nessasarly work for you. That being said I would suggest that for UK conditions the Cirrus Alpine would be a more versatile layer. Its not as warm as the Nebula but that would allow you to wear it in more mild conditions then layer up for colder conditions making it a jacket you would wear more.

I love the fit of both and normally like to wear a jacket without laying up unless I’m wearing a hard shell in rain. The new cirrus has bigger baffles thus more insulation to its predecessor and I wonder if it would be the better all round jacket, although I won’t be giving up my cirrus flex anytime soon which i love for this mild weather which we are currently experiencing.

One of them will fit you. it would be worth looking at the measurements on our website to see what size would offer the right length for you!
