DWR and Fluorocarbons

Here at Rab we have been monitoring the research on the impact of fluorocarbons (commonly known as PFCs) on the environment. Our materials experts are working hard to develop an effective alternative on a product by product basis.

Microfibres

Microplastic pollution is an emerging environmental concern and includes items such as plastic pellets, vehicle tyre erosion and, until a recent UK ban, found in personal care products (microbeads).

Fast Fashion and End of Life

At Rab we pride ourselves in producing quality hard-wearing products designed to last. We want your Rab items to perform well, in the conditions it’s designed for, no matter its age. 

Responsible Down Standard

It’s been over 30 years since the first Rab sleeping bag was hand cut, sewn and filled in Derbyshire. It is therefore no surprise that down is an integral part of our heritage and we take pride in making sure all the virgin down we use is ethically sourced from within Europe.

California Proposition 65 Legislation

California Proposition 65 (commonly known as Prop 65) is a law that is unique to the US State of California. Prop 65 prohibits anyone in the course of doing business in California or selling a product to a consumer in California to knowingly and intentionally expose any individual to a chemical, or risk of a chemical determined as ‘known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity’, even in very minimal amounts.

Cotton Sourcing

We have taken active steps to ensure that none of the cotton sourced for Rab or Lowe Alpine apparel or equipment originates from the Xinjiang region of China. We have never knowingly sourced cotton products from this region.
