Keeping Warm this Winter with our Rab Down clothing

Here's a selection of our Down-filled clothing from Rab:
Women's Arete jacket £145 (colour: Fjord)

Rab® says: The Arete jacket is a medium cut down jacket for every day usage now with a new Pertex® Microlight 30D outer.
The Arete has all the features you look for in a warm winter jacket for casual use, but with the featured Pertex® Microlight 30D outer fabric, and 230g/9oz 650 fill power European duck down so it will perform for hill and mountain use as well.
Zipped hand-warmer pockets and a fleece lined collar further add to the comfort of the jacket.
Women's Microlight Alpine £160 (colour: Twilight/Fuschia)

Rab® says: The Women's Microlight Alpine is a lightweight down jacket for all round outdoor use.
This is a fantastic piece for normal UK winters - warm enough for most days whilst slimline enough to pop your waterproof jacket over the top for an unexpected shower. The goose down fill offers incredible warmth to weight and means that the whole jacket easily compresses into it's own chest pocket! This means there's no excuses for not talking this guaranteed warm layer everywhere with you!
Ideal as a light belay jacket for Alpine climbing, for mountain marathon use or just for the daily winter commute - the Microlight Alpine is a versatile layer with a great women's specific fit.
Men's Microlight Alpine Jacket £160 (colour: khaki/jungle)


Rab® says: The Microlight Alpine Jacket is a lightweight, narrow baffled down jacket with a weather resistant Pertex outer fabric.
The Microlight Alpine jacket is an Alpinists dream!
Providing 140g/5oz (size large) of US750 fill European goose down, all wrapped up in a streamlined package that provides maximum warmth for minimal weight. The clean lines and uncluttered, minimalist design make it ideal as a layering piece for climbing or for mountain marathons - but this adaptable piece is equally at home for day to day use or for lightweight back-packing.
The narrow baffle structure minimises down migration and provides optimum loft and a fixed hood makes this jacket the perfect choice when warmth, weight and packability are prime concerns.
After listening to feedback from sponsored athletes and customers we have decided to add zips to the hand warmer and chest pockets.

Men's Ascent Jacket £180 (colour: twilight)
Rab® says: The Ascent jacket is a down jacket with a durable and water resistant Pertex Endurance fabric.
The Ascent has been designed as a mountain walking jacket and for trekking and travel use. This means it's a bit longer in the body and has a detachable hood, we also use 330g/12oz (L) of 650 fill duck down that means the Ascent is very warm but also relatively light and fantastic value.
The outer fabric is Pertex Endurance which is water resistant so ideal for snow or spindrift and also very durable. The handwarmer pockets and fleece lined neck baffles mean the Ascent jacket is equally at home on the winter walk to work (beacuse the snow has brought us to a standstill) as it is on the mountain or at the crag.

25 years on...still going strong

In November 1992 we were working hard to get our shop in Peebles opened. We were living in a draughty old shepherd's cottage in the Moorfoot Hills at the time and one day, our landlady remarked that there was a famous mountaineer coming to give a fundraising talk in aid of the village hall. It seemed unlikely but yes, Chris Bonington was coming to Carrington. It proved to be a memorable evening that people still occasionally mention to us today. Standing room only with an eclectic audience of school children, Women's Institute stalwarts, elders of the kirk and a smattering of outdoor enthusiasts. It probably wasn't the kind of gathering Bonington was used to speaking to but his professionalism and communication skills ensured that his stories came alive for everyone in the room. At the end of the presentation we joined the scrum of autograph hunters and got his signature on a poster which we hung in our new shop on the day it opened. It stayed on the wall for quite a few...
