Ascent 500 - Women's
$299.95
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 women’s specific shape is slightly shorter in length, narrower at the shoulders, and wider at the hips than the regular fit bag for improved efficiency. 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.

2025 Chevrolet Silverado HD Trail Boss Review: Not Quite a ZR2, but That’s the Whole Point
  For model year 2025, Chevrolet added the Trail Boss package as an option for the 2500-class Silverado Heavy Duty. Similar to the 1500 Silverado, the 2500 Trail Boss includes Z71 suspension upgrades, blacked-out bumpers with red recovery hooks, and 20-inch wheels shod in all-terrain tires.   A gas V8 comes standard, but the torque-monster Duramax diesel adds towing capacity. This helps...

  Shaun White’s snowboarding bona fides are unmatched. Over the course of his career, he racked up three Olympic gold medals on top of 13 X Games victories and forged a legacy as arguably the most well-known and decorated rider of all time.

Why You’re Hungrier When It’s Cold
  I run year-round, but winter is by far my favorite time to go jogging. When it’s cold and crisp out, I can go much longer and harder, often doubling the length of my summertime routes. Afterward, I want nothing more than to eat like a bear preparing to hibernate for the winter.   I always figured my increased appetite was merely...

Why I Let My Kid Roam Free Outside
  When I heard the news that a Georgia mom was arrested for reckless conduct after someone spotted her ten-year-old son walking alone less than a mile from home, the first thing I did was open Google Maps. I looked up the distance between my house and a nearby middle school that my six-year-old daughter sometimes walks to with a friend...
A Fixed Blade for EDC: Benchmade Dacian Belt Knife Review
  Overall, Benchmade is a top-notch knife brand with a tactical, outdoor focus. However, with a few new releases, it seems to be experiencing a brand metamorphosis.   If you look at its Bugout line, there are recently released wild color combinations like a black-coated blade with burnt brass handle scales and an electric blue thumb stud. Moving into the Shootout line...
The Best E-Bikes for Hunting in 2024
  E-bikes have no doubt carved out a spot in the hunting industry. They are much quieter, more affordable, and easier to transport than something like a Side-by-Side (SxS) or ATV. And let’s not forget that e-bikes dont require fossil fuels.   Whether it’s shortening travel time to a glassing spot or aiding with hauling meat out of the backcountry, our hunting...
The Best Bushcraft Knives of 2024
  You might be asking yourself, “What is bushcraft, and why are there specific knives for it?” Well, according to Dave Canterbury, in his book Bushcraft 101, bushcraft is a term for wilderness skills and the practice of surviving and thriving in the natural world.” This may lead you to believe, then, that bushcraft knives are survival knives. But they’re not...

Renowned Photog Turns ‘Brokenness Into Superpower’: Books Examine Mental Health in Outdoors
  Most photographers spend their lives hidden behind the camera. While their subjects might be rendered iconic through a careful balance of light and composition, the images creators usually keep themselves on the dark side of the shutter.   But Cory Richards took the most important image of his career when he turned the camera on himself. Youve probably seen it. Its...
I Refuse to Allow Taylor Knibb to Become an Internet Meme
  These are strange times for Olympians.   An athlete can win medal after medal, but should they be caught on camera in a compromising or hilarious situation, the ensuing tonnage of Internet memes will overshadow those accolades. Want proof? I dare you to Google French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati or Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec.   I fear that American Olympic triathlete Taylor...
