RAB Cubit Stretch Down Jacket

-

When it comes to staying warm on a winter walk, it’s not always about having the thickest, warmest jacket you can find. The very best insulators are the ones that adapt to what we’re doing: the ones that manage heat effectivel­y when we’re working up a sweat on a hill, but then keep us cosy when we stop for a Twix. (In fact if you do find a super-thick, super-toasty jacket, it’s likely been designed for people who need to keep still a lot, like anglers and photograph­ers.) So here’s a jacket that knows exactly what you need – and delights in providing it.

A SECOND LIFE

The versatile Cubit Stretch is filled with 100% recycled down, giving a second life to quality down that might otherwise have ended up in landfill.

READY FOR ANYTHING

The outer Pertex® Quantum fabric is breathable and weather resistant, with a fluorocarb­onfree Durable Water Repellent finish.

WARMTH ON THE GO

The insulation inside the Cubit Stretch is 700 fill-power down. Toasty when you’re stationary and adaptable on the go, down has the highest warmth to weight ratio of any insulation available. The NikWax Hydrophobi­c treatment will help extend the life of your jacket and protect it from moisture.

LIGHTWEIGH­T AND BREATHABLE

The Cubit Stretch weighs in at just 564g (size Medium) – extremely light by insulator standards – and remains breathable even on the most strenuous ascent.

ALL-ROUND PROTECTION

Built with advanced Pertex® 3D Weave technology, the jacket has excellent wind resistance, a light weight, and allows for maximum stretch and mobility on the move.

ALL YOU NEED

The Cubit Stretch has a durable YKK Vislon front zip with a soft, fleece-lined chin guard and two spacious zipped hand pockets, perfect for stashing gloves and snacks.
