Theme: Hear from the people who know Rab best and love it the most about its appeal and capabilities, stories you can only hear here
The theme of this article is a British outdoor brand that I consider to be the most dynamic in the outdoor industry these days
"Rab" Special Feature!!
I would like to send you the following
What is Rab?
The Rab brand was founded in 1981 in the UK by Robert Carrington, who began making high-quality, functional down and sleeping bags in the attic of his home using two sewing machines. His products, reflecting his years of mountain experience and unique ideas, quickly gained popularity among friends and the local mountaineering community. The brand has continued to grow ever since, expanding from down products to a wide range of categories, including sleeping bags, mats, shelters, apparel, and backpacks for a wide range of mountain activities, including mountaineering, alpine climbing, trekking, hiking, running, biking, and skiing. Driven by the motto of "products for use in the world's most extreme environments," the brand is constantly challenging itself with new materials and technological innovations, continually surprising mountaineering enthusiasts worldwide
What makes Rab's products so amazing? How do they come to be?
My personal encounter with Rab began in 2015 with the ultra-lightweight rainwear "Flashpoint Jacket."
I was instantly captivated by Rab, impressed by their top-notch work in every respect: the high functionality of their outdoor gear, the quality of their patterns, and their fashion sense. Since then, I've been excited about their new releases every season (even though it's frustrating that the items I want don't always make it into Japan)
In recent years, Rab has accelerated its expansion into new activities such as trail running and fastpacking, as well as into new product genres such as backpacks and sleeping pads. And all of these products are of astonishing quality that defies conventional wisdom. Their momentum shows no signs of slowing down
This is a brand that is very popular right now, and since its founding they have set high ideals and continued to produce high-quality output that meets those high demands.In this article, we would like to take a closer look at the secrets behind their high quality and unique, innovative ideas that make their products so great, and how they are created
New items for Fall/Winter 2023 will be on sale
The speakers will be Mr. Ishikawa and Mr. Yamazaki from LandR Co., Ltd., the distributor in Japan
As always, the first half of the event will be a live talk with the two of them, followed by some free time for chatting, but this time we will also be selling Rab items, mainly focusing on this season's new products, which LandR carries. We will let you know the details as soon as they are decided, so please wait a little longer
This time we will be streaming live online
We are also planning to stream the event live using a Zoom webinar, so we hope to make it possible for those who are unable to attend to watch it without difficulty
We are also currently considering whether online participants will be able to apply to purchase merchandise. We will let you know the results of this investigation as soon as they are finalized, so please stay tuned for further updates
"Our Favorite Hikes" welcomes people from a variety of professions and positions involved in the outdoors in Japan, and aims to be an exciting place where you can meet fellow mountain and gear lovers and have deep interactions. No prior knowledge, let alone any skill or experience, is necessary to participate. Anyone of any age or gender is welcome, and solo hikers are also welcome. Anyone who has even a slight love for the mountains or the outdoors can have fun, so please feel free to join us! We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible!
