Rab are a high-performance clothing, backpacks, sleeping bags and accessories brand for mountain sports, climbing and the outdoors in the most extreme conditions. 

Founded in 1981 in the attic of a small, terraced house in Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. Hand-stitched and devised with his own ingenious eye, Rab's experience from years spent in the mountains was apparent in his designs, and soon there was popular demand both from friends and the growing local climbing community.

The Sheffield attic became a factory floor, creating sleeping bags and jackets for customers far and wide. Now, decades later, those honest, hard-wearing designs can be found all over the world; wherever adventurous individuals face up to the elements. From Himalayan peaks to cold, crisp evenings around a campfire.

I worked with the Rab design team to research, design and develop new concepts within technical shell garments, which broadened to other categories including: fleece, softshell, legwear, insulation and lifestyle
