The story of RAB began in the 1970s, where Scotsman Rab Carrington sewed his first handmade sleeping bag. Years of experience in the mountains meant that Rab knew exactly what he needed. Today, RAB's durable products can be found all over the world; wherever adventurous individuals brave the elements. From peaks in the Himalayas to cold, crisp evenings around a campfire. RAB is innovative, environmentally conscious and always looking to improve.
