The Asylum Jacket is one of a host of specialist new cragging pieces from Rab’s Rock Range Designed specifically as a belay or bouldering jacket, the Asylum is filled with over 360g (size medium) of RDS-certified 650 fill power European duck down, making it ideal for those chilly autumn and winter conditions. Cut for a comfortable, regular fit, the Asylum has room for a number of extra layers for those truly freezing, high-friction days and has a down-filled hood to help keep out the worst of the wind.

Inspired by Rab’s local gritstone outcrops, the Asylum features a 2-way front zip to allow easy belay access while you’re trying to keep warm at exposed, windy venues. The outer fabric is constructed from Pertex® Classic, a strong abrasion-resistant fabric built to stand up to the wear of being stuffed into the top of a boulder pad or rubbing past boulders on the walk-in.

Even the Asylum’s pockets have been designed with climbing in mind; featuring a warm lining on the external pockets with enough room to accommodate finger tape, brushes and a host of other essentials. And for those not too put off by the smell, you can even keep your shoes warm next to your body using the two internal pockets.

The Asylum is part of the Rab Rock Range and is developed in close collaboration with our athlete team.
