The Rab® brand story began in 1981 in Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. Word soon spread, and the Sheffield attic became a factory floor, creating sleeping bags and jackets for customers far and wide. Using cutting edge materials, as well as time-tested ones such as premium quality European down, today Rab® is known for creating honest, hard-working pieces that you’d rather repair than replace.
