Rab Ascent 900 Price Season Rating

A classic four-season down bag, the Ascent makes use of a recycled Pertex Quantum outer with a Nikwax PFC-free water-resistant finish.

All that will keep you happy down to a limit of -18°C, while sensible extras like the internal zipped pocket (for a phone or head torch) will do likewise.
