Ascent 500 Sleeping Bag

<p>The Ascent series from Rab is set to conquer the mountains with good value for money and a wide range of different sleeping bags for different degrees of warmth. Among the women's models, the Ascent 500 is the lightest in the range. The 3-season sleeping bag works around freezing point and thus also covers the mild nights in spring and autumn.&nbsp;</p><p>The warmth is provided by R.D.S. certified duck down from Europe, which has a hydrophobic finish that copes with moisture much better than untreated down. Trapezoidal chambers prevent the down from slipping and reduce cold bridges just as efficiently as the built-in thermal collar and the down-lined cover flap under the zipper.</p><p>Rab also relies on a water-repellent treatment for the outer material. The very light Pertex® Quantum has been given a DWR coating, yet it remains very airy so that vapour can escape from the inside and the down can puff up ideally. Thanks to the material components and the slightly wider cut, the Ascent 500 creates a pleasant sleeping comfort on the next tour despite its friendly pack size.</p>
