Rab Latok Alpine (2012)

£35.00

Designed for mountain walking and alpine climbing, Rab Latok Alpine gaiters feature a 3-layer stretch eVent fabric. The stretch element allows them to provide a snug fit, which is comfortable while not restricting calf muscle flex. The use of eVent limits condensation build-up well. There’s also a nice big chunk of Cordura on the ankle to prevent wear and tear ...

Rab Double Pile (2012)

£60.00

A heavy fleece and therefore very warm. Double-pile fabric really traps the heat in. That also makes it bulky, however, and this certainly isn’t the kind of garment to tuck away in your pack for emergency use. Although it may not look like it, the face fabric has a water-repellent treatment which means that you can wear the top in ...

Rab Latok Glove (2012)

£62.00

While most gloves are designed to be warm, waterproof and hardwearing, there is another important requirement that many users would benefit from – and that is a good grip. The Rab Latok Glove is special in that it has a silicone print on the palm that is incredibly sticky, which makes gripping rock when scrambling, trekking poles or ice axes ...

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’.

Rab Traverse

£50.00

Fabulously lightweight and stretchy trousers that will be a favourite in any walker’s wardrobe. There’s no DWR on the fabric, but if they do get wet, they’ll dry incredibly quickly, and they’re superbly breathable too. They’re wonderfully easy to walk in, with a diamond crotch gusset for really easy movement, and the soft, lightweight fabric feels great against the skin. ...

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 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 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 ...

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 Dihedral Pant

£70.00

Good-looking yet practical walking trousers with few faults. The fabric looks casual – almost cotton-like – but it’s actually stretchy, making for really easy movement. The cut’s good too, and the waist has elastic panels, belt loops and a webbing belt. The knees, seat and inner ankles are reinforced, which is very practical, as at £70, you want them to ...

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 ...

Rab LS AEON Tee base layer

£25.00

A lightweight top and therefore not as warm as most, but as a dedicated base-layer it’s absolutely superb, being easy to move in, courtesy of ultra-stretchy fabric, and lovely and soft against the skin. It wicked brilliantly and dried in seconds, but it did pong after a couple of wears. An excellent component of a layering system and at a ...

Rab Momentum 2009

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 Bergen/Vidda 2009

£200.00

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. The jacket is shorter than some, which may be preferred by scramblers for example. The front zip gets an external stormflap and the pockets are sealed on the inside to prevent leaks. The pockets ...

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 ...

Rab Latok 2008

£250.00

The Rab Latok winter jacket is made from eVent fabric, so breathability and waterproofness are as good as it gets. Better still, the fabric feels a little stiffer than some, so it should be better able to trap warm air around the body in a howling winter storm. The hood can be rolled down and secured, plus it benefits from ...
