The shell uses Pertex Shield 2.5L, bonded to a lightweight 50D recycled fabric for a compact footprint that’s easy to stow in a pack. In real-world wear, the fabric feels featherweight against the skin, with a subtle sheen that hints at solid water resistance and steady breathability. A fluorocarbon-free DWR finish helps shed dew and mist, while the PU backing contributes to durability without adding bulk. Weighing roughly 9.3 ounces, these pants aim to balance protection with a comfortable, non-bulky fit that layers well over midlayers or base layers.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRab’s design philosophy emphasizes responsible materials and practical features for hikers and trekkers. The 2.5-layer membrane works in tandem with a regular, gusseted cut to provide freedom of movement on steep ascents and long descents, while the full-length gusset ensures you aren’t restricted during knee flexion. Drawcord adjustments at each hem keep the pant legs snug over boots in muddy conditions, and the ¾-length side zippers offer easy venting or quick over-shoe changes in sudden downpours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof rating: 20,000 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathability rating: 20,000 g\/m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShell: 50D 100% recycled polyester with fluorocarbon-free DWR and PU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMembrane: Pertex Shield 2.5L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: ~9.3 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit: Regular, gusseted, articulated for mobility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLayering: Easy to pair with midlayers or shells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, wind-resistant protection that packs down small\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull range of motion via articulated knees and a full-length gusset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscends or descends with confident layering under a shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluorocarbon-free DWR provides water repellency with a lower environmental impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign and mobility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pants are built with a regular fit that layers neatly, complemented by a full-length gusset and articulated knees for unrestricted movement on uneven terrain. ¾-length side zippers enable quick, on-the-fly changes over boots and also serve as ventilation when you’re climbing or descending in mild conditions.
