Jam-packed with tech and built with recycled materials, the Women’s Solar Ultra 3 embodies Rab’s drive to create more sustainable gear at the pinnacle of performance. Fast drying, lightweight and robust with heat reflecting TILT technology, it offers excellent warmth for its weight. Its narrow, tapered mummy shape further reduces bulk and weight. The women’s specific fit is slightly shorter in length, narrower at the shoulders, and wider at the hips for improved efficiency.
Featuring a triple layer of 100% recycled Stratus™ Eco insulation arranged in a concertina shape, the Solar Ultra mimics the performance of down in a lightweight, featherless package. Reducing radiant heat loss by up to 15%, the built-in TILT technology substantially improves thermal insulation without compromising pack size, breathability, or weight. The elastic internal quilting brings the lining and insulation closer to the user. The localised quilting means that the stitching which holds the insulation in place has been minimised to reduce the chance of cold spots.
It has a ¾ length main zip with a baffle along its length and an adjustable neck baffle to keep the heat in. Completed with a tough, 20D, recycled polyester Atmos™ outer, the Solar Ultra is the definitive synthetic sleeping bag for alpine use or lightweight bike and backpacking missions.
