A winter weight softshell pant that really does work, they are highly water and wind resistant, amazingly breathable and tough as old boots. These brilliant pants were made to just get on with the job without any fuss or marketing flannel.
Using Rab’s fantastic dual fabric Vapour rise construction, these pants offer amazing levels of breathability, weather resistance and durability. Your body heat acts as a pump working with the wicking micro fleece lining to push moisture away from your skin and move it to the face fabric. Pertex Equilibrium face fabric has larger filaments on the inside and smaller filaments on the outside. The laws of capillary action dictate that moisture will move from large filaments to smaller ones, pulling your sweat away from the lining and spreading it out over the large outer surface area. This evaporative heat loss and moisture wicking create a temperature equilibrium to keep you comfortable and dry in all conditions. Finally a robust DWR treatment on the outside repels water
The Vapour Rise Guide Pants have winterised the standard VR fabric with the addition of standard weight VR fleece lining and heavy duty double weave softshell face fabrics. Fully featured with 2 hand warmer pockets, half leg zips, zipped leg vents and a part elasticated and belted waistband with brace loops these gnarly pants are ready for action. This combination of fabrics and features creates a pant that balances weather protection, warmth and maximum breathability. An ideal piece of outdoor gear for mountaineers, winter walkers and climbers.
