Reliability 
over frills

Rain is soaking your shoulders, your teeth are chattering and the wind won't let up. That's exactly when your gear has to do its job. And the people at Rab know it.

It just works

When Rab Carrington sewed his first sleeping bag in the attic of his house, what he wanted above all was for it to work well in the mountains. That still holds today – reliability and simplicity win over fancy details.

history

From a British attic

The crates of expedition gear never even left the port. They were stuck on the other side of the Atlantic, and Rab Carrington was left wandering the streets of Buenos Aires. The climbing expedition to Patagonia was over before it began.
In the midst of the disaster, along came Hector Vieytes. He took Rab to his sewing workshop and, in a winter of 1973 lost for climbing, at least taught him how to make a proper sleeping bag.
Back from South America, Rab Carrington sewed, in the attic of his house in Sheffield, the first down sleeping bag to bear his name – Rab.
Down jackets soon followed. A partnership with Pertex brought a light waterproof fabric. And in the new millennium Rab joined forces with Lowe Alpine – to bring its aim of making simple things that work well and last long in the mountains to packs too.
