What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"This is my go-to layer for cool-weather climbs and daily wear. The stretch fabric is unreal—it moves with me on the wall or trail, and the pre-woven baffles mean no cold spots or bulky seams. It’s warm, packs down small, and still looks clean after repeated abuse."We love a down jacket that doesn’t make us choose between mobility and warmth. The Rab Cubit Stretch Down Hoodie is purpose-built for active cold-weather use—light enough to stash in a pack, warm enough to wear daily, and flexible enough for full sends on the wall. It’s the kind of piece we reach for during shoulder-season scrambles, brisk belays, and back alley coffee runs. Rab uses a unique Pertex® Quantum® 3DWeave to craft the Cubit’s seamless baffle structure. This not only enhances loft and durability, but also eliminates stitching that could otherwise limit movement or let in cold. Stretch-bound cuffs and hem, a drawcord-adjustable hood, and a high fleece-lined collar help seal out gusts when the weather shifts. With a simple silhouette and rugged warmth, it’s a down layer we don’t leave behind.
