What are the Torque Pants?
These are the latest version of Rabs' superb Torque pants. They are aimed squarely at technical mountain users as they are close fitting to reduce weight and stretchy to allow full freedom of movement. The Torque Pants are packed with technical and useful features making them perfect for climbing, scrambling and all round mountaineering.
What are they made from?
Constructed from Matrix double weave stretch softshell fabric with lighter weight fabric around the articulation zones to improve freedom of movement and reinforcements on the knee and instep for protection on these impact zones. Matrix is a densely woven, non membrane, nylon softshell fabric offering wind and water resistance and superb breathability making it perfect for more active mountain pursuits such as climbing and scrambling.
What are their features?
The Torque Pants feature a wicking and adjustable waistband, articulated knees and webbing loops at the hem so you can fit a cord to secure under your boots. All front and rear pockets are zipped to keep the contents safe and there are also zipped expanding leg closures at the bottom of the legs which can be opened to allow the use of bulkier mountaineering boots.
How do they fit?
We particularly like the way these superb pants fit, they're not skin tight and nor are they baggy either, they just fit nice and snug so they move with you and don't flap around or catch on crampons at the hem.
