Rab have upgraded all their brilliant sleeping bags for the 2014 season with Hydrophobic Down. This flurocarbon free treatment was developed in conjunction with Nikwax and although Hydrophobic Down is not waterproof it dries much faster, absorbs less water and retains loft far better than untreated down. The Expedition 1000 is designed to withstand the harshest weather and is protected with an outer fabric of Pertex Endurance providing good water resistance combined with excellent breathability and durability. The lining is Pertex Microlight with high wicking properties and, as the name suggests, very low weight and bulk. The hood and foot area is lined with Pertex Endurance to minimise damage from wear and also reduce water take up from wet boots and clothing. Insulation is provided by 1000g of 850 fill power superior quality Hydrophobic European Grey Goose Down, yes you read correctly, 1000g of mega down! This amazing down is held in place with the use of longitudinal baffles which stops the down migrating to the sides of the bag. These longitudinal baffles are also trapezoid in shape resulting in a very stable structure and consistent distribution of down throughout the bag. The outer and inner walls of the baffles benefit from differential cut, which allows for specific fill weights and fill power by maximising natural loft resulting in greater performance. Expedition sleeping bags are sized larger to accommodate bulky clothing and make entry and exit easier. Temperature ratings are used to indicate a bags performance but are subjective and can be hugely affected by many factors such as your health and metabolism, how much you have had to eat or drink, how active you have been, humidity and altitude, the type of shelter used and whether you are using a suitable insulating mat. Your sleeping bag is only as good as the mat that’s beneath it; we recommend EXPED and ThermaRest mats for comfort and insulation. The Comfort rating indicates the range at which a woman gets a full night’s sleep; the Limit of Comfort rating indicates the range at which a man gets a full night’s sleep and the Extreme rating indicates a range at which a woman is protected from hypothermia. The Extreme rating is basically a survival rating and it is not advisable to rely on this for general use.

Rab have upgraded all their brilliant sleeping bags for the 2014 season with Hydrophobic Down. This flurocarbon free treatment was developed in conjunction with Nikwax and although Hydrophobic Down is not waterproof it dries much faster, absorbs less water and retains loft far better than untreated down. Andes bags are designed for high altitude and winter mountaineering and offer the same performance as the Expedition bags but with a more performance oriented fit and shape to reduce weight and bulk. Hand filled in Derbyshire by Rabs own elite fillers so you can be sure that every Andes bag is made with care and attention. Filled with 800g of 800 fill power Hydrophobic European Grey Goose Down for maximum loft and insulation in a mummy shape which is optimised for bags with fill weights between 800 and 1200g. Longitudinal chest and foot baffles keep the down exactly where its needed, over the apex points of the body, to maximise insulation and to stop the down from migrating to the sides of the bag. Differential cut is a technology developed by Rab to ensure that the space between the lining and the outer fabric is optimised for the specific filling and fill power. This maximises the potential of the down to loft naturally resulting in greater performance. The outer fabric is Pertex Endurance which offers low weight, strength and excellent water resistance. The inner is lined with Pertex Microlight fabric for enhanced comfort and wicking. Both the inner hood and foot areas are lined with Pertex Endurance to provide additional wet protection and abrasion resistance from helmets and boots.
