Are you heading out on a longer ski tour, a hut-to-hut traverse or into the mountains where you need a rope and a few extra layers? The Rab Descendor 40 gives you the space you need while still keeping close to your body. The TRI-FLEX™ back system keeps the load close to your back and helps you maintain stability on the ascent, traverse and descent. The transition from ascent to descent doesn’t take forever, which is a big plus when the wind is blowing at the top.
- Quick access to your gear
You can enter the main compartment via the roll-top or the side zip, so you don’t have to dig through the snow for a single item. The shovel and probe have their own front pocket, so you know exactly where to reach in an emergency. - Thoughtful gear carrying
You carry your skis in an A-frame or diagonally, the splitboard is held by removable straps and there are two holders for your ice axes. The rope can stay inside and is routed directly from the main compartment when you’re abseiling or on the glacier.

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. Rab's experience from his years in the mountains was evident in his designs, which he hand-stitched and devised with his own genius eye, and were soon in demand from both friends and the growing local mountaineering community.
But it didn't end there. Soon the word got out and the Sheffield loft became a factory floor, producing sleeping bags and jackets for customers far and wide. Now, decades later, these honest and durable models can be found all over the world; wherever adventurers venture out to meet the elements. From Himalayan peaks to cool, breezy evenings around a campfire.
