A Versatile Active Jacket: The Rab Cirrus Flex 2.0

[@ukclimbingofficial]

Has anyone else out there used the Cirrus Flex 2.0? If so, what did you think of it; if not, what is your preferred choice?

[@hectorvelez79]

I love it, my go-to jacket for 3 seasons

[@ukclimbingofficial]

Yeah, it's just a great, comfortable all-rounder. Odd re-watching it now, because it really was freezing the day we filmed this video, and today it's a heatwave 😄

Is it good for winter season in UK? Its very thin and light weigh, just wanted to check whether it will be useful in winter.

[@ukclimbingofficial]

It is, but it depends on exactly what you’re looking to do with it. It’s an active piece, so if you keep moving - and have adequate layers on underneath - then you’ll be fine. If you stop you’ll likely want something warmer.

Looking at these jackets now for my walking, very informative thankyou. May I ask what size you wore in the video for reference?

[@ukclimbingofficial]

I'm wearing a medium. The Cirrux Flex is pretty accurately sized I'd say, so go with whatever size you tend to wear normally and it should (at least in theory) fit. Good luck!

[@Mertallica]

what is the size of jacket and what is the gentlemen height and weight?

[@ukclimbingofficial]

It's a Men's Medium. I'm around 180cm tall and 80ish kg. Hope that's of help!

Hi there! Do you think it’s durable enough to carry 13-15 kg rucksack?

[@ukclimbingofficial]

Yeah, it definitely will 👍

[@Michalis_Karakostas]

@@ukclimbingofficial Just bought it. Great look, great fill…Waiting to test its warmth!

[@Michalis_Karakostas]

Something else,for 0 Celsius underneath you think,100gsm fleece is enough?

[@ukclimbingofficial]

There’s a great many factors involved in layering, so this is a very hard question to answer. Variables include how windy it is, how dry/wet the cold is, and what you’re doing with it - whether or not you’re stationary or moving, then how fast you’re actually moving.

[@ukclimbingofficial]

@@Michalis_Karakostas Again, it all depends on what you're doing and what the weather is like. On a cool, crisp day you could probably get away with quite a thin base layer underneath - particularly if you keep moving. On a slightly wilder day, when you're stopping/starting, a 100gsm fleece would be a better option. It's hard to give an exact answer as there's a lot of variables involved. The good news is that after a bit of use you'll soon get to grips with what works and what doesn't.
