Are you heading out on a long skialp tour, a hut-to-hut traverse or into the mountains where you can’t do without a rope and a few extra layers? The Rab Descendor 40 offers 40 liters of space and still keeps your gear close to your body. The TRI-FLEX™ back system helps you maintain stability on the ascent, traverse and descent. The durable 210D ripstop nylon can handle contact with skis and rock and access to your gear is quick, even when it’s blowing at the top.
- Quick gear access
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 one item. The shovel and probe have their own front pocket and the internal divider separates the lower compartment for crampons, skins or a bottle. - Versatile gear carrying
You can carry skis in an A-frame or diagonally, the splitboard is held by removable straps, the helmet is held by an integrated holder and the ice axes are held by two separate loops. The rope exit from the main compartment allows you to lead the rope out without having to dig through the backpack when abseiling or moving 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.
