corlay's Review of Rab Cirrus Flex 2.0 Vest - Men's
This is a very well-made thermal vest - perfect for active pursuits (hiking, trekking, mountaineering, backcountry skiing, etc)
It is not super warm, like denser filled down vests (see RAB's "Microlight" vest for an example), but is very breathable due to synthetic fill and softshell side panels; and makes a good mid-layer for cold winter days or an outer layer for more cool spring/fall outings.
It is very tight-fitting. Consider sizing-up if you don't want a super form-fitting vest. I'm a 40" chest and ordered the Medium based upon RAB's sizing guide, and although it fit the way RAB probably intends, it was just too tight-fitting for me. So I exchanged for a Large.
I purchased this for nordic skiing, primarily. To be used as a mid-layer under a softshell. The breathability and range of motion/stretch of this vest was the main selling point for me.
