Rab Khroma Kinetic Waterproof Pants for Skiing & Mountaineering – Tempest Blue (Large)

When you’re pursuing powder turns or tackling a technical ascent, warmth and dryness go hand in hand with mobility. The Rab Men’s Khroma Kinetic Pants blend a waterproof outer shell with softshell-style breathability and stretch, creating a versatile layer that supports everything from dawn patrols to alpine ascents. The update brings a more accommodating fit and thoughtful boot-ready adjustments, so you can move with confidence without feeling restricted by your gear. In Tempest Blue and sized Large, these pants pair well with midlayers and shells for a balanced, all-season approach to backcountry exploration.

All‑Weather Ski & Mountaineering Performance

The outer fabric delivers solid waterproof protection while staying surprisingly breathable, helping you shed heat as you rise into alpine conditions. The stretch woven through the fabric provides a natural, unrestricted stride whether you’re traversing a wind-swept ridge or carving through fresh powder. The design aims to keep you comfortable during long days of skinning, boot-packing, and technical descents, without forcing you to compromise on protection.

• Breathable, stretchy outer fabric provides waterproof protection and unrestricted movement.
• Fully adjustable waistband with belt loops offers a secure fit over layers.
• Reinforced inner cuffs with kick patches resist wear from ski edges and crampons.
• Side vents enable heat dumping when you’re working up a sweat on the ascent.
• Waterproof YKK AquaGuard zippers seal pockets, vents, and fly against moisture.

Smart Details for Real‑World Use

Beyond core protection, these pants include thoughtful features that help you stay in control on the hill. Snap adjusters provide boot-compatible fit adjustments for smoother transitions, while the overall cut and construction are designed to handle the rigors of ski touring and mountaineering. The kick patches and reinforced cuffs help extend the life of the pants when you’re edging along rock, ice, or crampon routes, making them a dependable choice for long missions and varied terrain.

• Snap adjusters allow quick, secure boot compatibility for fast transitions.

In daily use, the Khroma Kinetic pants offer a balanced approach to staying warm and dry without overheating. They’re versatile enough for quick dawn patrols or longer, more technical expeditions, and the Tempest Blue color gives a bold, modern look that pairs with a range of Rab layers. If you value reliable weather resistance, comfortable movement, and practical design touches that stay out of the way when you’re focused on the task at hand, these pants are worth considering as part of your backcountry kit.
