Rab Gear

Does anyone have experience with the softgoods produced by Rab? Specifically I'm looking at some of their clothing.

Thanks, steve

you can see and touch 'em at Featherd Friends! I checked out a few of their garments but went with Westcomb, due to the local (relative) manufacture.

Their Latok Gloves are sweet. If you struggle to find a glove that fits from the biggies (BD, OR, Mtn Hardwear etc.) try Rab.

I've had a Rab shell jacket for about 3 years now. I picked it up on a trip to Europe where they are all the rage with the climbing crowd.

Its honestly the best jacket I've had thus far. I don't have a single complaint. Its rugged, simple, light and breathable.

My wife has a Rab Neutrino down puffy and its one of the best I've seen as well (Also purchased 3+ years ago in Europe). We used it ice climbing in Norway at -25C and she was toasty warm while I froze in my REI puffy. It weighed about 1/2 that of my REI puffy as well so I was more than a bit jealous.

I usually go with Arcterx or Patagonia gear but will be moving to Rab gear now that its available in the states (Feathered Friends & Second Ascent)

Can't recommend it enough.

Rab Gear was founded by a Scottish Climber so you know it must be good.
Only problem is that gloves have velcro on the palms!!!! ( Scottish joke to do with sheep)

I noticed that there aren't any zippers in the line either......tail end (pun intended) of a related same joke
