Rab Ascendor 28L Mountain Pack

This lower-volume pack from the Ascendor range is perfectly suited for dedicated day missions and shorter mountain routes. Designed as a top-loading pack with a robust zip, it features highly durable fabric—50% recycled—around the sides and base to maximise abrasion resistance, while the remaining sections utilise a lighter yet strong 35% recycled fabric to keep overall weight to a minimum. Engineered to withstand abrasions, tears, and varying weather conditions, this resilient pack is built for all-season performance.

Equipped with multiple gear attachment points and practical features, including dual ice axe carry and hydration system compatibility, this pack offers exceptional versatility for mountain adventures throughout the year. The design prioritises a lightweight build, with several removable components to allow for customisation. The spring steel frame and internal HDPE sheet can be stripped out to adjust weight, rigidity, and fit based on the day's objective. With a close-fitting structure that enables unrestricted movement over rugged terrain, the Ascendor 28 also features a moulded back panel that sheds snow efficiently and side compression straps to keep gear securely in place. Compact, durable, and adaptable, this pack is an excellent companion for ambitious days in the mountains.
