The Rab Alpine -6C / 20F sleeping bag is designed for climbers, trekkers, and bikepackers who prioritize a lightweight, packable thermal solution for alpine environments. Featuring 650FP European duck down and high-performance materials, it offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for cool-weather expeditions; however, users should note that the mummy shape is narrow to maximize thermal efficiency, which may feel restrictive for some sleepers.

The Rab Alpine -6C has a comfort rating of 0°C (32°F) and a limit rating of -6°C (20°F).
The Alpine series is designed as a standalone mummy bag; it is not typically compatible for zipping together with other models.
While the down is high quality, it is not waterproof. If it gets damp, dry it thoroughly as soon as possible in a dryer on low heat to prevent damage or mold.
Yes, it includes a stuff sack for transport, but it should be stored in a large, breathable storage bag for long-term storage.
Wash only when necessary, typically once a season or after heavy use, using down-specific soap to maintain the loft and thermal efficiency.
This specific model features a left-hand zipper configuration.
Tumble dry the bag on low heat with clean tennis balls to fluff the down clusters and redistribute them within the baffles.
Slowly move the zipper slider back while pulling the fabric away from the zip teeth. Ensure the internal zip baffle is laid flat before zipping.
Ensure the internal collar is tightened properly and check that the insulated baffle behind the zip is not bunched up.
To ensure the longevity of your sleeping bag, always store it uncompressed in a large cotton or mesh storage sack when not in use, rather than in its stuff sack. When setting up, allow the down to loft fully for several minutes after removing it from its compressed state.
For cleaning, use a mild down-specific detergent and a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle, ensuring the bag is thoroughly dried in a tumble dryer with tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters. Always store the bag in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to protect the Pertex fabric.
