About Rab

In 1973, Scottish climber and globetrotting mountaineer Rab Carrington was enroute to Patagonia for a climbing trip. But his climbing equipment was still back in the UK – and due to a shipping strike, not leaving anytime soon. Unable to start the expedition without his gear, Rab stayed in Buenos Aires, got a job at a textile factory owned by a friend, and learned how to sew sleeping bags. After years of climbing in the Himalayas, Patagonia and the Alps, Rab was no stranger to extreme weather or harsh conditions. His earliest designs reflected the pure pragmatism needed in alpine environments. In 1981, Rab founded his namesake company out of his attic back in the UK.

Why choose Rab outdoor gear?

Rab clothing and gear hold in heat when it matters most. Responsibly sourced European goose down delivers maximum warmth at minimum weight. Balancing strength, packability and breathability, Pertex performance fabrics hold everything together.

Durability and performance in extreme conditions

Rab’s lofty sleeping bags block out bitter cold on shoulder-season trips and winter expeditions, with ratings down to -23C. Premium insulated Rab jackets keep you toasty on long belays and backcountry ski transitions, then compress into impressively small packages when it’s time to move. From urban commutes and multi-day treks to ski tours and alpine climbs, Rab outdoor gear delivers function without fuss.

Sustainability in Rab outdoor gear

Rab keeps things green without cutting corners on performance. A lot of their gear is made with recycled materials — including down and fabrics — and they’re Climate Neutral certified, which means they measure and offset their carbon footprint. They’re big on repairing instead of replacing and cutting back on unnecessary packaging. Plus, their “Material Facts” labels give you a clear look at what goes into each product, so you can feel good about what you’re wearing out there.
