Gear That Climbs Higher and Leaves a Lighter Mark
When the mountains call, or the weather stages a challenge, Rab is the outfit you trust to perform and protect. We stock a range of customisable Rab merch with several branding options available including one of our favourites: luxurious embroidery which gives your artwork a longer life all whilst pairing up perfectly with each item also pre-branded with the official Rab logo. Yet behind every jacket, bag, and layer lies a deeper commitment: gear that tackles the elements responsibly, not recklessly. Checkout this article to find our a bit more about the brand, with a link to the range below:
- 1. Born from Passion, Built to Last
Founded in 1981 by climber Rab Carrington, the brand started in a Sheffield attic making sleeping bags. Today, it’s still about functional integrity: lightweight, rugged, and endlessly reliable gear for serious adventuring.
- 2. Technical Performance, Crafted for Real Conditions
Rab’s range spans down-insulated jackets, MICROLIGHT sleeping bags, GORE-TEX and Pertex® waterproofs, designed to keep out wind, rain, and cold without sacrificing breathability or agility.
- 3. Sustainability Isn’t an Afterthought, it’s in the DNA
Pioneering recycled down: Rab was the first to introduce GRS-certified recycled down and remains an early adopter of the Responsible Down Standard (RDS). Recycled materials on the rise: In 2020, 34% of Rab fabrics contained recycled content, ten times higher than in 2019. Carbon-neutral, on a path to Net Zero by 2030: Offices and operations are powered by renewable energy; Rab offsets emissions and supports projects like clean cookstoves in Nepal, hydropower in Vietnam, and forest protection in Zimbabwe. Material transparency, Material Facts labels: Like a nutrition label for your jacket, Rab’s QR-coded tags disclose recycled content, fluorocarbon use, and more, empowering you to make informed choices.
- 4. Repair, Reuse, Recycle
They’ve been repairing gear since inception. Zippers, toggles, tear-away components, many are salvaged and given a second life. And they’re extending down recycling, soon across all of Europe.
- 5. Ethics: from Animals to Workers
Only certified RDS down enters Rab products, ensuring humane sourcing. No fur, no exotic skins, no mulesing. They're also Fair Wear Foundation members, working for fair labour across the chain.
