Founded in 1981 in the north of England, Rab is a well-known British manufacturer of mountaineering clothing and sleeping bags, and is one of the favorite outdoor brands of many mountaineering teams and expeditions. Rab is mainly for the European market, and by 2011 it had become "one of the fastest growing professional outdoor clothing suppliers in Europe", and although it has increased its exports to the Far East market in recent years, it is still a niche outdoor brand in China, and its popularity is not high.
 
Down jackets are Rab's signature products, ranging from lightweight down jackets to down jackets for polar expeditions. Rab's full line of down jackets are filled with goose down with a down content of 90% or more, and have been certified by the American RDS and the European Down and Feather Association to ensure that down collection meets industry standards. After being collected through qualification, the down is treated with Rab Fluoro Carbon Free Hydrophobic Down to keep the down dry and fluffy. Rab divides the down fill power of its products into different levels such as 650-1000, and like most professional outdoor brands, it mainly focuses on 750 and 800 fill power products, which can not only meet the basic needs of warmth in the city, but also easily cope with the changing weather outdoors.
 
Because of its ultra-light and highly waterproof characteristics, the Pertex Quantum Pro fabric is loved by many high-end professional outdoor brands, such as Mammoth from Switzerland to make down jackets. Rab is not far behind, the same use of this material, the fabric with a microporous coating, through tight weaving not only strengthens the waterproof, but also can effectively prevent down from drilling out of the fabric, so the Rab down jacket has excellent performance in waterproofness and warmth, and is recognized by many consumers.
 
Rab attaches great importance to the functionality and practicality of his down jackets, not only using high-quality padding and fabrics, but also meticulous in the design of the garments. The hood has a longer brim for a wider windproof and rainproof surface, the windproof velcro cuffs can block the cold wind from pouring in from the sleeves, and the pouch design makes it easy to compress the down jacket for outdoor sports or travel.
 
However, like most professional outdoor brands, Rab is also difficult to achieve the perfect coexistence of down jacket functionality and aesthetics, the color matching is mature, while not modifying the body shape, some styles are also bloated, and the quilting of light down jackets is relatively tight, and it is even nicknamed "rib down jacket", which may be difficult to attract the attention of the younger generation. However, the price of Rab down jackets is affordable, with the price on the official website being 200-300 pounds (about 1800-2700 yuan), while the price of domestic online channels is mostly concentrated in about 1100-1700 yuan.
