Pushing the limits of durability

Rock as sharp as razor blades. An iced-up chimney. And relentless damp driven straight at you by the wind. This ultra-durable Rab pack changes what you thought lightweight climbing gear could take.

Rab Latok

Spectra® – extra-tough fibres that, weight for weight, are fifteen times stronger than steel. Among other things, they're used in bulletproof vests. That's why neither the sharpest rock nor the harshest winter terrain will leave a scratch on this climbing pack. The roll-top closure keeps moisture out and the metal buckles work reliably even in hard frost.

With a Lowe Alpine subtitle

Rab backpacks are born of a close bond with Lowe Alpine – both brands belong to the same parent company. The story that brothers Jeff, Greg and Mike Lowe started writing more than fifty years ago carries on in Rab packs – they are still their proper backpacks.
The Lowe Alpine story

Simple things work best

Nothing extra. Nothing that could go wrong. This pack has only what you'll really need up there. And it fits properly when you climb. The shaped back panel hugs your body and the shoulder straps adapt thanks to more padding at the top and a slimmer build lower down.

  • Weight: 0.81 kg (28L), 0.86 kg (38L)
  • Ultra-strong Cordura fabric reinforced with Spectra® fibres to resist tearing, treated with a HydroShield water-repellent finish.
  • The light, shaped X-SHIELD™ back panel doesn't let snow stick. It also sits tight to your body, so it moves with you as you climb.
  • The roll-top opening keeps moisture out of the pack.
  • A strap with a metal buckle lets you secure a rope on top of the pack.
  • Stash your phone in the top water-resistant pocket and keep it always to hand.
  • Other valuables stay safe in the internal pocket with key clip.
  • Under the light side straps with metal buckles you can attach skis or other gear.
  • Two ice axes attach easily to the front of the pack with the HeadLocker system.
  • Thread the helmet straps through the fabric loops to fix it to the front of the pack.
  • The aluminium hip belt buckle opens with one hand.
  • The hip belt can be removed so it doesn't get in the way when climbing.
  • Load lifters help stabilise the pack on your body.
  • The chest strap also has a built-in whistle.

Rab Latok

An attic full of feathers

When Rab Carrington, back from an expedition to Patagonia in the late 1970s, began shutting himself away more and more in the attic of his house in Sheffield, he had just one goal: to make a down sleeping bag that would serve well in the mountains. After decades of mountain experience and experiments with new materials, the philosophy of the brand bearing its founder's first name remains the same: make simple, functional gear you'd rather repair than throw away.
