The Rab Women’s Ascent Down Sleeping Bag (-12°C) is designed for reliable warmth, comfort, and practicality during regular mountain and backcountry adventures. It strikes a strong balance between insulation performance and packability, delivering dependable cold-weather protection without unnecessary weight or bulk.
Filled with 650 fill power European duck down, the Ascent uses efficient baffle construction to maximise thermal retention while maintaining a controlled weight profile. The women’s-specific wider mummy shape offers additional room for comfort compared to more technical alpine-focused designs, making it ideal for trekking, backpacking, and extended trips where comfort is just as important as warmth.
A windproof Pertex® Quantum outer fabric helps reduce heat loss from cold draughts while keeping the overall weight low. Hand-filled in the UK, the down has never been pre-compressed before use, preserving maximum loft and long-term insulation performance. Durable, versatile, and built for repeated use, this sleeping bag is a dependable cold-weather companion for winter travel and mountain missions.
