Rab unveiled its first line of sleeping pads for the Spring/Summer ‘23 season, an innovative next step for a company that made its reputation designing sleeping bags four decades ago. Founded in Sheffield, England, in 1981 by mountaineer Rab Carrington, Rab is a leader in rugged, high-performance mountain clothing and equipment, including award-winning down sleeping bags such as the Mythic, Neutrino and Ascent.
During the past three decades, the company has drawn inspiration from mountains, the friendships climbers forge on the peak and an enduring mission: To awaken the climber in everyone and equip them for the ascent.
Now Rab uses its experience to offer five models of innovative sleeping pads that offer maximum comfort and packability.
Rab’s models include the Ionosphere and Ionosphere 5.5, both of which are ultralight and ideal for alpinist and mountain expeditions when weight is crucial. Made with heat reflective TILT technology and 100 percent recycled Stratus R insulation, the Ionosphere is designed to maintain sleeping temperature, and its lightweight construction uses air and insulation for superb warmth-to-weight ratio and minimal pack-size.
Rab also unveiled the Stratosphere 4 and Stratosphere 5.5 (pictured), both of which offer 100 percent recycled Stratus R insulation and are designed to keep you warm across all seasons. Like the Ionosphere models, the Stratosphere features outer chambers that help keep you centralized on the pad and includes a pump sack for rapid and hygienic inflation.
The Exosphere 3.5 model is a lightweight and durable self-inflating sleeping pad built with a high-comfort X-Core foam, designed to make camp set-up super easy.
