Rab Expedition 1000 Sleeping Bag | Expedition and Extreme Cold Down Sleeping Bag

Description

The Rab Expedition 1000 (QSM-27) is the gateway to Rab’s expedition range, designed to offer real thermal protection in extreme cold conditions with a focus on a slightly more optimized weight and volume.

It is intended for high-altitude mountaineering expeditions, winter traverses, and environments where temperatures can drop below -30°C, but where every gram counts.

Real technical performance

Its 1000g fill of 850FP European goose down with Nikwax hydrophobic treatment provides excellent thermal capacity while maintaining a good balance between weight and performance.

The Pertex® Quantum Pro outer fabric protects against wind and moisture, while the construction with longitudinal baffles, trapezoidal chambers, and Flowgate™ technology ensures uniform heat distribution and minimizes down migration.

The design allows for the use of expedition clothing inside, improving thermal performance in real-world conditions.

It is designed for those who need performance in extreme cold but are looking to optimize weight as much as possible on expeditions.

Recommended use

• High-altitude mountaineering expeditions
• Conditions below -25°C
• Demanding winter traverses

Is it for you?

✔ Yes, if you are looking for access to the expedition range with the best weight/warmth balance
✔ Yes, if your intended use is demanding winter mountaineering
❌ No, if you need maximum thermal protection (the 1200 or 1400 is better)
❌ No, if you are looking for versatility for general use
