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 900 Extra Long is suited to taller users looking for a 4 season bag. This bag is 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 900 XL 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 960g 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. 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 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. The ratings we have published are Rabs Sleep Limit ratings which are calculated from EN13537-2002 & BS TOG ratings.

The new Endurance Down Mitt is basically a lightweight Expedition Mitt for when you dont really need full on furnace warmth, but just want to make sure your hands stay warm & protected in freezing conditions. They are good for light work in the polar regions & at altitude but excel in UK & Alpine winter mountaineering situations. As the name suggests, they have a Pertex Endurance outer fabric which is a coated lightweight, tough ripstop nylon offering protection from snow & light rain without adding bulk. Despite the high water resistance of the face fabric these mitts are not totally waterproof. Insulation is provided by Rabs high quality 750FP Eurpoean goose down that meets the European Down & feather Association Codex. This code of conduct determines that the source of the down is a byproduct of a slaughterhouse or harvested during moulting periods & not illegally live-plucked. These functional mitts have abrasion resistant panels on the palm, thumb & finger tips so they will stand up to regular use with poles & ice tools. A wide, drawcord opening allows easy access & there are wrist loops to avoid losing them when performing intricate tasks in just your liner gloves. 50g of 750FP European goose down Pertex Endurance outer fabric Protected abrasion areas in palm & mitt tip Wide opening Internal elasticated wrist Wrist leash with simple loop lock ...

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 Expedition 1000 is designed to withstand the harshest weather & is protected with an outer fabric of Pertex Endurance providing good water resistance combined with excellent breathability & durability. The lining is Pertex Microlight with high wicking properties &, as the name suggests, very low weight & bulk. The hood & foot area is lined with Pertex Endurance to minimise damage from wear & also reduce water take up from wet boots & 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 & consistent distribution of down throughout the bag. The outer & inner walls of the baffles benefit from differential cut,  which allows for specific fill weights & fill power by maximising natural loft resulting in greater performance. Expedition sleeping bags are sized larger to accommodate bulky clothing & make entry & exit easier. 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 and 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.
