About Rab

Rab has been making technical mountain clothing in Sheffield since 1981, trusted by professional mountaineers and climbers. The range covers down jackets, fleeces, waterproof hardshells, base layers, trousers, backpacks and sleeping bags, all built for genuinely severe conditions rather than an outdoor look. Pertex fabrics run through jackets and sleeping bags for wind and water resistance at low weight, while ethically sourced down adds warmth without bulk. Waterproofs use Gore-Tex and Pertex Shield. Worth knowing: the down-filled Microlight Alpine, the mid-weight winter Valiance, and the Cirrus, which uses synthetic insulation that keeps working when wet. Rab is a certified carbon neutral company, using recycled materials and PFAS-free treatments.
