Founded in 1981 in the United Kingdom by Rab Carrington, Rab was born in the most demanding conditions imaginable: high mountains. Originally, the brand manufactured sleeping bags and down jackets by hand, designed specifically for mountaineers and expeditions, with a single priority: warmth, protection, and absolute reliability.
Quickly adopted by climbers and adventurers, Rab has established itself as a benchmark in mountaineering, ski touring, climbing, and trekking. The products are designed to perform when cold, wind, and humidity become real obstacles. High-quality down jackets, technical fabrics, and cuts designed for movement: every detail is optimized for action in the mountains.
True to its roots, Rab continues to develop its equipment in close collaboration with athletes and guides, in real-world conditions. The brand is also strongly committed to the environment, notably through the use of certified down, recycled materials, and a sustainable approach focused on product longevity.
Rab is the DNA of modern mountaineering: equipment designed to go higher, further, and remain reliable when it really matters.
