Cold temps have finally arrived so I’ve started to bust out the Rabbit Cocoon 2.0..
A couple of weeks of mixed winter sports use, and I’m totally sold.
Quick rundown of the key features:
Fleece lined, quite warm on its own with a baselayer
Integrated hood / vented facemask
Thumb holes
Watch window on both sides
DWR coating (for light mist, very light rain maybe)
I wear a size Medium. The fit is a little bit boxy and loose around the torso for me, but I do have a thinner frame and long arms. I prefer the loose fit and my preference would be to wear this for everyday cold runs as an outer layer.
Check out my latest video - Mammut Aenergy Trail Speed vs Salomon S/LAB Pulsar 4. I wore my Rabbit kit on the way and there’s a little modeling segment in there.
I didn’t actually wear it on that run, as it was a bit too sunny and warm out (the Cocoon 2.0 is quite cozy!)
There’s a reflective strip along the back which makes it great for those cold night runs. The seams on the front shoulders are also reflective.
The vented facemask is the TOP feature for me. You can see this is the third variation here - facemask up / hood down. You can keep the entire thing down as a kind of loose buff, or use the hood with the mask down, or have both the hood and the mask up. Very versatile and great for varying conditions and levels of body warmth!
This is one of my favorite pieces of winter sports apparel right now - I’ve also used it as a ski layer, as well as casually since it looks so nice!
