Rab Ascendor 45:50 Rucksack - Orion Blue

Season:S24

Brand:Rab

Code:QAP-28-ORB-MED

At the top end of the Ascendor range, the Ascendor 45:50 is ideal for mixed winter and summer rock routes to ice wall assaults and ski mountaineering. With its strippable features, the Ascendor transforms from a gear hauling beast to an agile summit pack for days when you’re moving fast and light.

Comfort
It’s a lidded pack with zipped side entry for quick access to kit and dedicated lower ski loops for carrying skis in an A-frame. It’s built with tough, 50% recycled fabric around the sides and base for optimum abrasion resistance, and a strong yet lighter weight, 35% recycled fabric elsewhere, to keep the weight to a minimum. Abrasion, tear, and water-resistant, this rugged pack copes with all conditions.

The spring steel frame and the internal HDPE sheet can be stripped out, so you can customise the weight, rigidity and fit of the pack depending on your day’s objective. The hip belt can also be personalised, with its removable webbing and padding for days when you’re moving ultralight.

Close-fitting and designed to allow you to move freely over demanding terrain, the Ascendor 45:50 has a snow shedding, moulded back panel and side compression straps to cinch your gear secure.

Organisation
  • Upper and lower side compression straps to cinch pack secure
  • Front daisy chain and under lid rope strap for attaching gear
  • 2 HeadLocker ice axe attachments with removable lashes
  • Top loader entry with side zip for easy access to kit
  • Detachable lid with outer zip pocket and inner map pocket
  • Secure closure when lid is removed, ideal for lightweight mountain days
  • Hydration compatible with 3L bladder

Features

  • Sternum strap with whistle to attract attention
  • Top tensioner stabilises load close to your body
  • Detachable hipbelt with gear loops and removable padding and webbing
  • A-frame ski carry option for multi-activity use
  • Main closure with strong metal buckle

A closer look
Easy to open and secure shut with a strong metal hook, or remove the top lid completely on lighter weight days and fasten with the large compression flap. This is designed to pull the pack weight close towards your body to greatly improve the carry. It also doubles as a rope strap and protects your gear at the top of the pack from the weather when the lid is off.
