Overall a really good bag

I spent a lot of time researching and buying / returning sleeping bags until I found the right one. I found the rab was the right balance between quality, warmth and budget. The rab is quite roomy compared to some other bags I tried, the material feels soft and comfortable, the warmth ratio for me is great as it keeps me warm in colder months but not too hot in summer months as I can unzip it and use it as a quilt. It came in at a reasonable price too. Surprisingly I found that this compresses down quite a lot which is great for space saving in your pack. Only two downfalls for me are the feathers can escape through the pull cords and the pull cords themselves although useful for pulling tight for a snug fit can sometimes get in the way around your face etc when you are sleeping. Overall a really good bag and worth the purchase.

Does what it says on the tin

Great sleeping bag, super comfy and surprisingly roomy for a mummy bag. Easily fits into your rucksack and compresses into the smallest gaps for maximum space efficiency, if you don’t use the bag like I don’t. Super lightweight and there’s a handy valuables pocket too.

What model is this?

There is not RAB Ascent 400 on RAB's website, only 300 or 500. Which one is this?

Hey Matteo,

the Ascent 400 is produced exclusively for us, that is why you couldn't find it on the Rab-website.

Best,
Max

Hello Gordon, Unfortunately, no. This is a special bag that had been produced for us by Rab and had only been made available in the regular size.
