The Ascent 500 is a versatile Sleeping Bag with a comfortable, wide mummy fit. Filled with 500g of 650FP goose down and with ample space for wearing additional layers when needed, this lofty bag is ideal for two season use and spring conditions similar to those in the UK, New Zealand or Scandinavia.
The Ascent is built with a lightweight and durable, recycled Pertex Quantum outer fabric and recycled nylon lining. It has trapezoid shaped and boxwall baffles that stack neatly together, encouraging the hydrophobic duck down inside to loft fully and reducing the appearance of cold spots. The generous mummy fit with wide foot box provide a spacious feel for an easy night’s sleep, and the close-fitting neck baffle with three-quarter length zip keeps the heat in when the temperature drops.
The women’s specific shape is slightly shorter in length, narrower at the shoulders, and wider at the hips than the regular fit for improved efficiency. 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 as the Ascent Regular and Long length versions have compatible zips so you can zip them together.

The Rab story began in 1981 in the attic of a small, terraced house in Sheffield where Rab Carrington made the first sleeping bag to bear his name. Hand-stitched and devised with his own ingenious eye, Rab's experience from years spent in the mountains was apparent in his designs, and soon there was popular demand from Rab's friends and the growing local climbing community. Now, decades later, those honest, hard-wearing designs can be found all over the world; wherever adventurous individuals face up to the elements. From Himalayan peaks to cold, crisp evenings around a camp fire. This began as the brand's story, but it also belongs to those who've loved and cared for each and every one of our products. Who've made them their companions on long trips and expeditions.
