Rab Protium

All-day hikes, mountain ascents, the steel cables of via ferratas, fastpacking. This pack always adapts. Rab gave it a moulded, breathable back panel with a semi-rigid structure that flexes exactly to your body. The pockets and compartments sit right where you need them most. They also added trekking pole loops, a handy front stretch pocket and attachment points for clipping on just about anything else. Take it outside. It'll be great!



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.

Rab Protium

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.
