When Rab Carrington started a small company in 1981 Sheffield he was relying on his extensive experience gained on bold, lightweight first ascents to design and manufacture down clothing and sleeping bags of the highest quality. This equipment had to meet the needs of a new breed of lightweight alpinist using techniques pioneered by Rab himself. For over 30 years RAB has been a world leader in outdoor gear design.   Their range includes insulated down jackets, waterproof jackets, overtrousers, gloves, T-shirts, baselayers, sleeping bags, and tents. RAB products will stand up to the harshest environments in all aspects of the outdoors.
