British outdoor brand Rab has launched its new spring/summer 2026 packs, led by the multi‑award‑winning Syclon XP 40 waterproof pack and complemented by the new Airox ventilated range.
Designed for fastpacking, hiking and summer treks, the new styles introduce Rab’s AEROFIT back system across multiple pack sizes.
At the core of the SS26 pack collection is the Syclon XP, with the 40-litre version elevated to ISPO Award Gold Winner status and Product of the Year at the UK Outdoor Industry Awards 2026. The Syclon XP range features Rab’s new AEROFIT back system, providing ventilation. Its body-contouring mesh carry system runs seamlessly from the back panel through to the hipbelt.
With an IPX4 waterproof rating, fully taped seams and durable Spectra fabrics, the Syclon XP packs offer weather protection without sacrificing breathability. Weighing under 1kg (40L), the Syclon XP packs are among very few fully waterproof, ventilated packs in their category.
The ISPO jury said: “With the Syclon XP 40, Rab strikes a rare balance: a fully waterproof pack under 1kg that still offers real ventilation and a stable, secure fit.”
