        History

        Rab was founded in Sheffield in 1981 by Scottish climber Rab Carrington to make equipment for mountaineering, hiking and climbing. He started with handmade sleeping bags and quickly expanded to other products to supply the increasing numbers of climbers in the Peak District. The company is known for their down-filled jackets, sleeping bags and expedition gear. In 2007 the company was bought by Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd (who also own Lowe Alpine) and moved to Derbyshire.
