Rab - The Mountain People
We are hikers on remote trails. We are
alpinists navigating rock and snow. We are pioneers on
hostile summits. We span seven continents and a thousand
landscapes but our intent is the same. For every trail, for
every mountain, for every moment. We are Explorers.
A Brief History
Rab began in 1981 in the attic of a small, terraced house in
Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag
to bear his name. Hand-stitched and devised with his own
ingenious eye, Rab's experience from years spent in the
mountains was apparent in his designs, and soon there was
popular demand both from friends and the growing local
climbing community.
Things didn't stop there. Word soon spread, and the Sheffield
attic became a factory floor, creating sleeping bags and
jackets for customers far and wide. Now, decades later,
those honest, hard-wearing designs can be found all over the
world; wherever adventurous individuals face up to the
elements. From Himalayan peaks to cold, crisp evenings
around a campfire.
Now
Today, Rab are ceaseless in their commitment to Rab's
exacting standards, ingenuity and pioneering spirit. They
make rugged, high-performance mountain clothing and
equipment that give you absolute protection, comfort and
freedom on the hill, crag or peak. Using cutting edge
materials as well as time-tested ones such as premium
quality European down. Nothing fancy or over-engineered -
just honest, hard-working pieces that you'd rather repair
than replace. By climbers for climbers.
