Rab Cirrus Ultra Hoody Review
We've been out in the Scottish Highlands and Lake District testing out the new Rab Cirrus Ultra Hoody, a versatile synthetic insulated jacket that balances warmth, packability, and wet-weather performance. Engineered with PrimaLoft ThermoPlume+ insulation, it provides an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, retaining loft and heat retention even in damp conditions. The jacket also features TILT reflective lining to maximise warmth by redirecting body heat back toward the wearer.
Key Features:
Warmth & Weather Resistance: Performs well in wet, cold conditions, suitable for hiking, climbing, and day-to-day use.
Functional Mountain Details: Stretch cuffs, two-way zip, accessible pockets, and helmet-compatible hood.
Sustainable Design: Made with recycled materials and free of PFAS, supporting Rab’s commitment to eco-friendly manufacturing.
The Rab Cirrus Ultra Hoody is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts needing reliable insulation with packable convenience. For a down-filled option, see the Rab Mythic Ultra. Watch our video review for that jacket here: ua-cam.com/video/lZTsoWGHfzs/v-deo.html

    Hi there! What’s your experience with condensation? I purchased the Bach Moa Lite 2 and - unfortunately - am not happy at all. Every morning I wake up with a completely wet sleeping bag and inner tent. The entire top sides of the sleeping bags, from head to toe, are wet. I have a lot of camping experience and I understand that condensation occurs in a tent, but the amount is way too much. There’s a lot of ventilation. I’m very curious to hear what your experience is on this!

      Hi. I've not personally had a troubling amount of condensation. And you're right, there's a lot of ventilation at the base of the tent. Perhaps the problem occurs for you on very still nights when there's not much air passing through. I've only used this when there's at least a light breeze. Will

    Is this a review of "British-available" hooded does jackets?? My choice for mountain west, USA skiing (ordered it today) is the new-for-this-year LL Bean men's Wind Challenger Stretch Down Jacket. made with 80% recycled nylon & 14% Spandex body & sleevesand 100% recycled nylon on helmet compatible hood and shoulder yoke. It has NO sewn-thru seams. Instead it has WOVEN-IN baffles. Thus the "Wind Challenger" name. LOVE this feature. $261.75 on sale. So OK, it has 650 fill down, not 800 fill as my other down garments. But I ain't packing it in when winter camping so stuff size and weigh are not a problem. This remarkable design has every element I have been looking for.
