The Rab adventure: meeting the needs of outdoor sports enthusiasts

The Rab adventure began in the 1970s in Argentina. On an expedition to Patagonia, Rab Carrington, the future founder of Rab, found himself stranded in Buenos Aires without his gear. Due to a strike at the port he departed from in the UK, his equipment arrived long after him in Argentina, and he was forced to wait before heading to Patagonia. With no money, he turned to his friend Hector Vieytes, a sleeping bag manufacturer, through whom he earned a small income while waiting for his gear. Once his equipment arrived, Rab headed to Patagonia, returned home to the UK, and used the skills he had learned to continue making sleeping bags. He expanded his knowledge and made duvets for himself and his loved ones. Over time, as the quality of his products improved, demand increased, and Rab Carrington, a renowned climber, founded the brand Rab in the 1980s. Since then, Rab has continued to improve its sleeping bags and diversified its product range. The expertise in sleeping bags has been applied to the creation of down jackets, and then other clothing items emerged, all designed from experience gained in the field. Today, Rab is a recognized brand in the outdoor sports sector, known for quality products that will ease your efforts and make your adventures even more enjoyable.

Rab sleeping bags: take your bed with you everywhere

Rab sleeping bags represent the history of the brand. They are the reason Rab was founded and benefit from unmatched expertise in thermal insulation. A Rab sleeping bag like the Neutrino Endurance 600, with a comfort temperature of -2°C, will protect you from the cold no matter where you go in the world. This Rab sleeping bag, just like the Ascent 900, features the highest quality down and a mummy shape construction for maximum thermal efficiency. No matter your adventure, there will always be a Rab sleeping bag to meet your needs.

The Rab down jacket: like being in a duvet

The knowledge of Rab in sleeping bags has been used to develop Rab down jackets made from natural down, known for their warmth and comfort. Using the same technologies as those used in the design of sleeping bags, Rab down jackets feature high-quality down, waterproof protection, and a hydrophobic treatment to prevent moisture. A Rab down jacket like the Electron Jacket, with its goose feathers and a Fill Power rating of 800 Cuin, will allow you to face the cold in all regions of the globe. The hood of this Rab down jacket, when worn, minimizes heat loss from the top of the garment. Don't worry, this model has been adapted for the female form: the Electron Jacket for women.

Rab clothing perfect for the mountains and the valleys

Over time, the Rab brand has developed and expanded its expertise far beyond sleeping bags and down jackets: Rab t-shirts, Rab base layers, and Rab shirts have gradually appeared as the brand evolves. You can now enjoy Rab's expertise in your daily sports outings as well as in everyday adventures!
