Rab began in 1981 in the attic of a Mountain Performance Eyewear small, terraced house in She‹eld, England where Rab Carrington made the Žrst 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 from Rab's friends and the growing local climbing community. NORQUAY But things didn't stop there. Word BANFF ALBERTA soon spread, and the She‹eld attic became a factory ¯oor, creating sleeping bags and jackets for customers far and wide. Now, decades later, those honest, hard- wearing designs can be found all over Move Any Size File Fast the world; wherever adventurous individuals face up to the elements. Rab is the o‹cial and exclusive apparel for the Festival and World Tour Canada and United States Screenings.
