Since 1981, the Rab brand has been creating exceptional products for mountain lovers. The brand was born out of a passion for the mountains and a desire to provide products that stand up to extreme conditions and meet the expectations of the most demanding outdoor enthusiasts.
The company's story begins in a loft apartment in Sheffield, where Rab Carrington, the company's founder, created his first sleeping bag. His experience gained from numerous mountain expeditions was evident in every detail, which quickly caught the attention of the local climbing community.
The brand's rapidly growing popularity turned an attic workshop into a factory, producing sleeping bags and jackets for customers around the world. Rab Carrington, the brand's creator, acquired the necessary skills in 1973 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This knowledge became the basis for creating technically advanced sleeping bags. The Rab brand has been creating gear that is simple and robust for more than 40 years.
Since its inception, Rab has focused on creating specialized clothing and equipment for climbing, trekking and other mountain activities. The brand primarily offers hiking jackets, down jackets, rain and windproof jackets, pants, sleeping bags, as well as accessories such as gloves, hats and thermal underwear.
Rab is known for its innovation, use of the latest technologies and high-quality materials, which guarantees maximum functionality, durability and comfort. The brand's products are designed with attention to detail, such as ergonomic cuts and thoughtful ventilation systems that enhance comfort during long expeditions.
Rab is committed to reducing the environmental impact of its operations, striving to make the production, transportation and use of its clothing and equipment sustainable. The company is working to become more sustainable by reducing its reliance on fluorocarbons, repairing and reusing used equipment, using more and more recycled materials and improving working conditions for its employees. Rab is working together with its community to find a better way of doing things.
