Rab's story begins in 1981 in the attic of a small terraced house in Sheffield, where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. He sewed his pieces and designed them with his ingenious eye.
Through word of mouth, the Sheffield loft was soon replaced by a factory that made sleeping bags and jackets.
Over the past decade, Rab has continued to grow in size and popularity both in the UK and abroad, with the introduction of iconic pieces such as the Microlight Alpine down jacket, The Electron Pro down jacket, the Kinetic Plus

Our materials experts work hard to develop an effective alternative for each product. In accordance with legislation, Rab only uses fluorocarbon-free DWR or shorter-chain (C6) DWR treatments, but is working hard to eventually eliminate them from our products.
Microplastic pollution is a growing environmental concern. Currently banned in the UK.

It's been over 30 years since the first Rab sleeping bag was cut, sewn and stuffed by hand in Derbyshire, UK. So it's no surprise that our down is an integral part of our heritage. We are proud to ensure that all of the down we use is ethically sourced from Europe. From the farm to the factory, every step of the process meets the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). We believe RDS certification is the most robust and transparent model available today.
