RAB
Rab create rugged, high-performance clothing and equipment that give you absolute protection, comfort, and freedom in the mountains. They use cutting-edge materials as well as time-tested ones, such as premium quality European down, to craft honest, hard-working pieces that you’d rather repair than replace. More than forty years since their founding, they have become the first choice for mountain people adventuring in the world’s most hostile environments.
Rab’s team is made up of passionate climbers, hikers, runners, skiers, and cyclists who see the effects of climate change on their mountain playground. That’s why they’re on a journey to Net Zero, striving to reduce the impact of their business on the environment and protect the wildernesses we all love to explore.
TECHNOLOGY
Rab’s commitment to performance has always led them to use the highest quality fabrics and most innovative technologies, whether developed by Rab themselves or their trusted partners. Combining tried and trusted materials with cutting-edge advancements, they create exceptional products that are ever lighter, more durable, and more sustainable.
SUSTAINABILITY
Rab takes pride in producing quality, hardwearing clothing and equipment that’s designed to last. At the same time, they recognise the big challenges facing the outdoor industry and are constantly seeking ways to reduce the impact of their business, make it fairer for everyone, and preserve our mountain playground for future generations.
HISTORY
The Rab story began in 1981 in a small attic in Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. Demand from his close-knit climbing community quickly grew and he moved to a factory in Sheffield where his reputation for building fuss-free, hardwearing kit escalated into the brand we know, love, and can rely on today.
SLEEP
Sleeping bags are where it all began for Rab, and to this day, they hand-fill their down sleeping bags at their factory in Derbyshire, UK. They continue to pioneer warmth for weight, using decades of data and hard-earned experience to fine-tune the performance of their bags, providing you with refuge from the cold wherever you’re hunkering down for the night.

Balancing low volume with high comfort even when you’re moving fast or slogging uphill, it’s protective in sudden rain yet light in your pack. The supple 2.5-layer Proflex™ fabric is quiet and breathable, and has a soft, textured backer which is comfortable next to the skin, so you can throw it on over a tee during a fleeting shower. With a streamlined design, it keeps features to a minimum, yet is equipped with everything you need for exploring beyond the treeline in fickle weather.
