Rab is a prominent British heritage brand specializing in high-performance mountain clothing and equipment. Founded in 1981 by mountaineer Rab Carrington in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, the brand initially gained fame for its hand-stitched sleeping bags and technical down jackets designed for extreme conditions.

While the brand originated in the United Kingdom, its manufacturing has expanded globally to meet technical demands and scale. Many of its technical outer shells, such as the Kangri GTX, are produced in facilities in countries like China and Indonesia, while some specialized prototyping and lines have remained closer to its European roots. The brand is currently owned by Equip Outdoor Technologies UK Ltd, which maintains the brand's headquarters in Alfreton, Derbyshire. Under the ownership of Equip Outdoor Technologies, Rab has grown into a leading global name in the outdoor industry, known for its commitment to technical integrity and sustainability.
