Rab launches first ever sleeping mat range

British outdoor brand Rab (owned by Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd.) has launched its first ever sleeping mat range – perfectly complementing its popular sleeping bag collection - this spring/summer season. Covering five different mats from the ultralight and packable, to the durable and protective, the launch of the range is a logical next step for the company, who has been offering market-leading sleeping bags since its beginnings, more than 40 years ago.

Harnessing Rab’s decades of expertise in insulation and crafting revolutionary and award-winning sleeping bags such as the Mythic Ultra, Neutrino and Ascent ranges, Rab aims to deliver all the ingredients for a good night’s sleep, wherever the user decides to set up camp.

Technology for all temperature and terrain comfort

Based on extensive lab research and testing, Rab uses longitudinal chambers on all new mats. This allows fine tuning of the insulation in all the chambers, changing the thickness and density of insulation inside and the height of the outside chambers and helps to keep the user in the center of the mat. Most of the range uses the same hybrid, rectangular shape to save weight and optimise the sleeping area. All models use 100% recycled outer fabrics as well as a fluorocarbon-free DWR.

Rab’s new sleeping mat range comprises:
