Rab Womens Ascent 700 Down Sleeping Bag  £250.00

Rab Ascent 700 Down Sleeping Bag -9C / 15F - Women's

A warm, 650FP duck down sleeping bag with a recycled, wind resistant Pertex® Quantum outer. Designed with a comfortable wide shape, it's ideal for those buying their first down sleeping bag for use in cold conditions.

The Ascent 700 is a warm bag with a comfortable, wide mummy fit. Filled with 700g of 650FP goose down and with space for wearing additional layers if needed, this bag can be used in cold temperatures. Ideal for three season use and spring conditions similar to those in the UK, New Zealand or Scandinavia.

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 our 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.

Rab Sleep Limit Explained - Need help choosing the right bag for your next adventure? This is our real-world assessment of a sleeping bag's usable temperature limit. At Rab, we use the EN ISO 23537 standard to rate most of our sleeping bags. This standard is in place to help give baseline temperature measurements of sleeping bags across the industry. The EN ISO test produces a series of temperature limits which are described as: 

• The Comfort Rating indicates the minimum temperature where an individual can sleep in a relaxed position and get a good night’s sleep.
• The Limit of Comfort Rating is the temperature range where an individual sleeping in a curled position and fighting against the cold can still sleep through the night.
• The Extreme Rating is for an emergency scenario – it’s the minimum temperature a person can remain in the sleeping bag for up to six hours in a curled position while really fighting against the cold. It’s worth bearing in mind that frostbite at these temperatures is very possible.

Fair Wear Foundation - Together with Fair Wear Foundation (FWF), Rab are working to achieve fair working conditions worldwide. Our production gives employment to over 20,000 people.
