Rab Ascendor 35:40L Mountain Pack

In the heart of the Ascendor range, the Ascendor 35:40 stands out as an exceptional choice for fully loaded excursions or routes that require an overnight bivvy. Featuring a lidded design with a zipped side entry for easy kit access, it includes dedicated lower ski loops for efficient A-frame ski carry. Constructed using robust 50% recycled fabric around the sides and base for superior abrasion resistance, the pack incorporates a lighter, durable 35% recycled material elsewhere to reduce weight. With its abrasion, tear, and water resistance, this pack is built to handle challenging conditions.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Ascendor 35:40 features multiple gear attachment options. These range from dual ice axe carries to water bladder compatibility, making it a reliable all-season mountain companion. Lightweight design features, many of which are removable, ensure adaptability. The spring steel frame and internal HDPE sheet can be taken out to modify weight, rigidity, and fit according to the adventure’s demands. Additionally, the hip belt can be customised with removable webbing and padding, ideal for ultralight pursuits.

Engineered for a close fit that promotes free movement over demanding terrain, the pack includes a snow-shedding, moulded back panel and side compression straps to secure gear. The lid can be secured with a durable metal hook or removed entirely for lightweight days, allowing the large compression flap to take over. This flap not only pulls the pack’s weight closer to the body for improved carrying comfort but also doubles as a rope strap and protects the pack's top contents from weather exposure.

The Ascendor 35:40 has been meticulously designed to meet the needs of ambitious mountain adventurers. Its intelligent construction, multifunctional features, and superior comfort make it a trusted choice for challenging environments.
