Ascent 500
$239.96 - $271.96
Description

  The Rab Ascent 500 is a versatile bag with a comfortable, wide mummy fit. Filled with 500g of 650FP duck down and with space for wearing additional layers if needed, this bag can be used in cool temperatures. Ideal for two season use and spring conditions.

  The Ascent is built with a lightweight and durable, recycled Pertex® Quantum outer fabric and recycled nylon lining. It has trapezoid shaped, boxwall baffles that stack neatly together, encouraging the hydrophobic duck down inside to loft fully and reducing the appearance of cold spots. Hand-filled in the UK, all of Rab's down bags benefit from never having had their down compressed before use, maintaining the down’s loft and warmth.

  The generous mummy fit with wide foot box provide a spacious feel for an easy night’s sleep, and the close-fitting neck baffle keeps the heat in when the temperature drops. It has a ¾ length main zip with a down filled baffle to keep out the draught.

  Practicalities are taken care of with an internal zipped stash pocket that easily fits a phone or a headlamp, a cotton storage sack, and a compression stuff sack to ensure a manageable pack size and protection on the road. Exploring with a partner or want extra space? Pick up a left and a right zipped bag and you can zip them together.

Footprint sold separately.

Mud Season Is Coming. Are You Ready to Survive It?
  Whenever I encounter mud puddles on a trail, I flash back to one of the best-loved books of my 1990s childhood, We’re Going On A Bear Hunt. After contending with tall grass and a river, the characters in the book find themselves facing their latest obstacle, “thick, oozy mud.” “We can’t go over it, we can’t go under it,” they...

The Best Fishing Hats of 2025
  What in the world is a fishing hat? That term seems like something a marketing team would create to target old men who are bored in retirement. In the past, those were the only people we knew who had a hat specifically for a day of fishing. We just wore whatever hat we had lying around.   Thats a bit of...
Road-Ready Rally Cars: 2025 Subaru WRX tS vs. 2025 Toyota GR Corolla
  A powerful turbocharged engine, road-gripping all-wheel drive, and a slick-shifting manual transmission. Together, they create the holy trinity of sought-after automotive enthusiast combinations. Hallelujah!   This sacred formula may conjure up rally fantasies of perfectly executed Scandinavian flicks around snowy corners, blasts through tree-lined stages at breakneck speeds, and crests over dirt hills at dizzying velocities. Even if buyers of boosted...

Meet the Endurance Athletes Going the Extra Mile to Fight Cancer
  When Scott Bauwens’s sister-in-law was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia a few years ago, he set a simple goal.

But during that first campaign, something happened that changed his life. He started to meet...
All-Road, All-Speed, All-American: Industry Nine Solix SL AR40c Wheelset Review
  Industry Nine (i9) earned its reputation by creating bulletproof, beautiful billet aluminum components in Asheville, N.C. Its mountain bike hubs earned an envious position as a top choice for riders building high-end custom wheelsets. The Solix SL AR40c partners the familiar i9 hub design ethos with its own new, modern carbon all-road rims.   I tested the Industry Nine Solix SL...
Water Shoe Brand Dives Into Thru-Hiking: Astral Nosobo Hiking Shoe Review
  When Grandma Gatewood became the first female to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail in 1955, she wore a simple pair of Keds sneakers to get the job done. At the time, her strategy to opt for a lightweight shoe was considered outlandish — or even comical. Everyone else who hiked long miles in the wilderness adopted a pair of heavy leather...

New Thru-Hike: ‘Northern Colorado Trail’ Opens for Debut Hiking Season

Is This the New Way to Climb Mount Everest?
  Picture yourself in your office. Your phone buzzes with a text message: Time to go! You sprint downstairs to a waiting taxi and zip to the airport, where you board an overnight flight to Kathmandu.
