The women's Altus Jacket is a quick drying insulated jacket with a lightweight Pertex Quantum shell. Rab's Cirrus insulation offers down style lofting with the wet weather insulating performance of a synthetic, making it perfect for cold and damp environments. In terms of warmth in the Cirrus range, the Altus is the next step down from the Nimbus but a step up from the Cirrus Flex. It's basically the Nimbus jacket but without the hood.
