Rab have really got the hang of making a superbly fitting womens jacket; the Vidda has a brilliant shape & is one of the few longer jackets available that will keep your bum & top of your thighs dry. The body of the Vidda is made from mid-weight Event & the shoulders & arms feature a heavier fabric to combat abrasion & provide durability. Event is a totally waterproof & highly breathable membrane fabric offering high performance & reliable quality. Our experience shows that it is just as waterproof as Gore Tex & is significantly more breathable than Gore-Tex Performance Shell.  Rab are the masters of hood design, they are not so big that your head just wallows around in it, they cinch down without obscuring your vision & they have a wired peak so it doesnt flop down over your eyes.  Youd be amazed how many technical jackets are let down by poor hood design, but not with the Rab Vidda, in my humble opinion it has the best hood design of any jacket currently available.  All external zips are the high quality YKK Aquaguard zips which are designed to be highly water resistant, but not completely waterproof. The main zip is a Vislon version which remains free running & easy to use even in freezing conditions. So if you are looking for a reliable & great performing water proof shell for use in the mountains, look no further.

The outer glove is constructed from Rab’s own Matrix DWS durable nylon stretchy softshell fabric & reinforced on the palm, fingers & knuckles with Pittards Amortan leather.  Amortan leather is made super durable by encasing the natural fibres in microscopic ceramic armour plates thus preventing wear from surface contact & materials.  As well as the Amortan treatment this quality leather also features Innovative Grip Technology; this is a polymer infused into the surface of the leather to increase grip without compromising dexterity. These technological fabrics are backed up by the reliable & durable e VENT waterproof & breathable membrane. The outer provides protection & supreme Primaloft insulation & is lined with a Bemberg brushed lining making it a perfect mountain work glove or for use with ice tools when you need the dexterity.

Rab have upgraded all their brilliant sleeping bags for the 2014 season with Hydrophobic Down. This fluorocarbon free treatment was developed in conjunction with Nikwax & although Hydrophobic Down is not waterproof it dries much faster, absorbs less water & retains loft far better than untreated down. Andes bags are designed for high altitude & winter mountaineering & offer the same performance as the Expedition bags but with a more performance oriented fit & shape to reduce weight & bulk. Hand filled in Derbyshire by Rabs own elite fillers so you can be sure that every Andes bag is made with care & attention. This incredibly warm expedition & winter mountaineering sleeping bag is filled with 1000g of 800 fill power Hydrophobic European goose down for maximum loft & insulation in a mummy shape which is optimised for bags with fill weights between 800 & 1200g. Longitudinal chest & foot baffles keep the down exactly where it’s needed, over the apex points of the body, to maximise insulation & to stop the down from migrating to the sides of the bag. Rab use their clever differential cut which is a technology developed to ensure that the space between the lining & the outer fabric is optimised for the specific filling & 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 & excellent water resistance & the inner is lined with Pertex Microlight fabric for enhanced comfort & wicking. Both the inner hood & foot areas are lined with Pertex Endurance to provide additional abrasion resistance from helmets & boots. Temperature ratings are used to indicate a bags performance but are subjective & can be hugely affected by many factors such as your health & metabolism, how much you have had to eat or drink, how active you have been, humidity & altitude, the type of shelter used & 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 & Therma Rest mats for comfort & 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 & the Extreme rating indicates a range at which a woman is protected from hypothermia.  The Extreme rating is basically a survival rating & 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 & although Hydrophobic Down is not waterproof it dries much faster, absorbs less water & retains loft far better than untreated down. The Ascent 300 is a 1-2 season bag designed in a semi-rectangular shape that is user friendly for general camping or for those wanting a bit more room than a tapered mummy shaped bag.   The Ascent 300 offers excellent value for money, quality construction & low weight for its performance.   All Rab sleeping bags with left & right zips can be zipped together to form a cozy double bag. Filled with 300g of 650 fill power 80/20 Grey Duck Down in a Semi-Rectangular shape which is optimised for the specific fill weight. The generous internal shape is cut to allow a more relaxed sleeping position without sacrificing the performance needed for general mountain & outdoor activities. The shape of the trapezoidal internal baffle chamber delivers a very stable structure that delivers a consistent distribution of down throughout the bag. Differential cut ensures that the space between the lining & the outer fabric is optimised for the specific filling & fill power. These two technologies combine to maximise the potential of the down to loft naturally & reduce migration resulting in greater performance. The outer & inner fabrics are Pertex Microlight which is durable & lightweight & dries exceptionally quickly. Access is via a 3/4 YKK zip with an anti-snag baffle. An internal shoulder baffle helps to keep all the warmth in the bag & provides the ultimate in snuggly comfort. Both the hood & the shoulder baffle have drawcords.
