Rab Ascent 500 (2012)

£200.00

The Rab Ascent 500 has been restyled for 2012 and comes with a good stuffsack that allows it to be compressed smartly for easy packing into a rucksack. The bag feels like it can easily cope with its -5 deg C temperature rating. The foot of the bag is particularly spacious for increased comfort, and the side zip ends about ...

Rab Xenon Jacket (2012)

£155.00

It’s hard to believe that something this light (290g, size 10 – lightest on test) can help keep you warm on the hill. But thanks to the super-light Pertex Quantum used on the inner and outer coupled with the warming quality of the PrimaLoft One insulation, the Rab Xenon Jacket packs heat well above its weight. As soon as I ...

Rab Ascent 900 (2012)

£220.00

Rab has long been one of the most tried and trusted manufacturers of down sleeping bags, and the Ascent 900 is its best value-for-money option. It features a temperature rating of -19 deg C, so it is warmer than all the lower- priced bags here, yet it still only weighs 1700g including the stuffsack. The bag is a little more ...

First test: Rab Neo Stretch jacket

£250.00

The Rab Stretch Neo jacket is made from a new Polartec fabric called NeoShell, which claims to ‘fall in the sweet spot between traditional soft shells and hard shells’. So NeoShell is designed to be waterproof and breathable like a hard shell, while maintaining the stretch and comfort of a soft shell. Polartec NeoShell does have some stretch in it, ...

Rab Latock 2011

£280.00

The Rab Latock is made from eVent fabric, and this version feels particularly robust and hard-wearing. It does make the jacket heavier than some others (762g, men’s L), but it’s likely that it will also stand up to abuse far better as well. The feature set is ideal for wet or wintry mountain days, thanks to the four large chest ...

Rab Mountain Dru 2011

£250.00

New for this winter, the Rab Mountain Dru is a more durable and longer version of the Rab Super Dru. So it is made of a tougher version of eVent fabric with further extra reinforcement on the shoulders, sleeves and hem. The jacket is not incredibly long, but it’s longer than some others here such as the very similar Mountain ...

Rab Mountain Dru Pants 2011

£180.00

Brand new, the Rab Mountain Dru Pants are designed for fairly serious abuse on alpine terrain, and their features reflect this. The waistline is very high, keeping draughts at bay even with the extreme action that climbing and scrambling require. The zip is a full-length affair, so they can be opened up completely from the waist to the ankle, which ...

Rab Demand Pull-On

£150.00

Uniquely, this top is designed in a smock-style, which harks back to the uncluttered designs of climbing kit. The result is a top with minimal stitching and fuss to impede its technical ability to shed water and breathe. As an emergency waterproof to throw on in a sudden downpour it’s great. The 3-layer eVENT waterproofing does make it more substantial ...

Rab Infinity

£150.00

This jacket uses man-made Primaloft One insulation instead of any natural down filling, with the immediate result being that it is not as warm as down equivalents. For general use it’s fine, although you will want to keep moving when it’s truly perishing. The thinner grade of insulation also makes it more versatile and useful for a wider range of ...

Rab Bergen 2011

£195.00

The Rab Bergen is a great year-round mountain walking jacket. It is made from eVent, a well-proven waterproof and breathable fabric whose lab results place it top of the league in terms of performance. It features a relatively short body design, two chest pockets and a wired hood. DesigneVent fabric makes use of a microporous membrane that is laminated between ...

Rab Infinity 2011

£200.00

Use of the new Pertex 10 denier Quantum fabric ensures that the Rab Infinity is very light indeed. At 484g it is not the lightest jacket, but it provides more insulation, so it is usable at lower temperatures. It uses top-quality down too, which keeps the weight down further. The Infinity hood surprisingly comes without any volume adjuster or drawcords, ...

Rab Xenon 2010

£150.00

The most needed but least used piece of kit I take on the hill is probably spare insulation. It spends most of its life in my rucksack, but is essential over lunch breaks and when stopping to take in a sunset in winter. So this is one area where going lighter is important, but not at the expense of getting ...

Rab Bergen

£190.00

This is lighter weight shell-style jacket, and a great performing one at that. Although quite thin, the face fabric is pleasant to the touch (if a little rustly) with a tough, ripstop feel. In use the eVENT fabric performs extremely well, not leaking even after standing under a waterfall! There are no vents, and the pockets are not mesh-lined, but ...

Rab Latok 2010

£275.00

The Latok is a well-proven classic from Rab that is now also available for women. It is made from eVent, which is a well-proven top-performance fabric. The Latok is designed very much as a mountaineering jacket, so you get a slightly shorter body than some others. There are four pockets on the chest and these can all be easily accessed ...

Rab Drillium 2010

£175.00

‘Best in Test’ in Trail since 2007, the Rab Drillium multi-activity jacket is made from eVent, which is rated as among the most waterproof and most breathable of fabrics so it can control condensation well even when you’re working hard on a bike, say. The tail is a little longer to protect the lower back when bent over handlebars. The ...

Rab Momentum 2010

£175.00

While most jackets have gone up in price, the Rab Momentum sticks at £175 and now comes in a women’s version too; what’s not to like?! The Momentum is made from eVent fabric, so it is top of the league for waterproofness and breathability. Feature-wise you get the basics of a front zip for venting and a good length in ...

Rab Bergen/Vidda 2010

£200.00

A very popular general-purpose jacket that is becoming a modern classic, the Rab Bergen (the women’s version is the Vidda) is made from eVent fabric, so it offers top levels of waterproof and breathable performance. The front zip gets an external stormflap to help keep the rain out, and the pockets are sealed on the inside to prevent rain leaking ...

Rab Momentum

£175.00

The Momentum oozes quality. Its eVENT three-layer fabric is lightweight, yet still reassuringly tough, waterproof and breathable. It’s cut long enough to cover the hips, but not so low that it restricts leg movement, and there’s plenty of room for adjustment in the elastic drawcord hem and Velcro cuffs. But what sets this jacket apart from the others is its ...

Rab Alpine 400 2010

Established in 1982, Rab sleeping bags quickly dominated the performance end of the sleeping bag market. But other brands rapidly caught them up and arguably superseded their design. But for 2010 Rab is back with a stunning new range of sleeping bags that look set to place the company back at the top. DesignThe new range of Rab Alpine bags ...

Rab Latok Salopette 2010

£240.00

Unlike other brands, Rab uses eVent waterproof and breathable fabric. This is coupled with stretch Schoeller fabric in the bib. It is the bib that sets these trousers apart, and potentially this design could be ideal for ice-climbing, alpine mountaineering and the Greater Ranges. DesignThis type of trouser is usually called a salopette, and it is that big bib that ...

A well-proven performer and frequent Trail favourite, the Rab Bergen/Vidda general-purpose jacket is made from eVent fabric, which offers extremely high levels of waterproofness and breathability.

Rab Momentum 2009

£175.00

The Rab Momentum jacket is a remarkable price for the features and weight on offer. Firstly at 356g (size L) it is light enough to stash in a pack on dry days. But more importantly when the rain comes the eVent fabric is well-proven to provide excellent performance in terms of waterproofness and condensation control. The jacket is fully featured ...

Rab Drillium

£175.00

The Drillium is made from three-layer eVENT fabric, which feels tough and protective, and not at all rustly or plastic. The cuffs are adjusted with Velcro – perfect for venting when needed – and the hem and hood use drawcords to fine-tune the fit. The hood is superb: deep and cosy with a wired peak, yet it packs into the ...

RAB LATOK

£250.00

Review: Good length sleeves, a snug high collar and an excellent hood that really kept some awful weather out. It’s short at the hem, and the eVENT fabric, which breathed superbly, is a little stiff and rustly in comparison to some. It has superb, well-placed pockets, including two that will hold a map, and we liked the lengthy pit-zips, although ...
