Down is where it all started for Rab. Back in the 1980s, our founder Rab Carrington began building sleeping bags, which quickly evolved into creating the most advanced down jackets in the industry.

Thanks to its exceptional warmth to weight ratio, down offers incredibly warm and packable insulation for a very low weight. This makes it ideal for mountaineers, climbers and hikers travelling through the mountains with minimal gear. Our range of women’s down jackets is constantly evolving, whether that’s adding new designs or refining existing ones.

We have a vast range of women’s down jackets with a variety of styles and features for different outdoor pursuits. Whether you’re looking for an ultralight and breathable layer with zoned micro baffles and nano baffles for complete freedom of movement, or an extra warm and protective down jacket for high mountain activities, we’ve got you covered. We also have a selection of everyday down jackets with extra length, parka style, with or without a hood, perfect for throwing on when the temperature drops. We use a selection of weather protective and windproof fabrics and have begun to incorporate more recycled materials into our range, including 100% recycled fabrics and insulation.

To find out more about down insulation, head to our down insulation guide. Our quick and easy jacket wash service will have your down jacket cleaned, fully lofted, refreshed, and returned to you in time for your next adventure. Or if you need expert repairs for your Rab down gear, check out our down clothing repair service.
