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.

  Ever spend an hour hiking in the winter and find your fingers quickly lose feeling? Thats your body telling you that its too damn cold out, and bringing your warm blood back into your chest.

Confession: I’m Tired of Helping My Neighbors
  I recently moved into a new neighborhood where everyone is involved in each others’ lives. (Picture picket fences, etc.) I’ve noticed that when a neighbor needs to borrow something, like a snow shovel, they come to my door. In particular, there’s an older woman who lives alone across the street and seems to think that I’m her personal assistant. She’ll...
Should I Help an Airbnb Owner Bust His Squatters?
  Dear Sundog: We recently went to a wedding in a mountain resort town. We rented a condo online because the wedding hotel was fully booked.
