What are the Latok GTX Bibs?
The Latok Bibs are Rab's toughest, most protective pieces of legwear available. Using a mixture of Gore-Tex Pro Most Rugged and Most Breathable fabrics, they're tough where they need to be and breathable everywhere else.
What are they made of?
Membrane(s): The Latok Bibs are made using a mixture of Gore-Tex Pro Most Breathable and Gore-Tex Pro Most Rugged. Most breathable is used for the majority of the trousers and most rugged is used for areas which receive the most abuse. This increases the overall breathability of the trousers whilst maintaining durability in areas which require it — clever!
Outer fabric: A fully recycled 70D nylon is used throughout the outer of the Latok's to provide reliable protection and added weather-resistance. An ultra-tough 300D nylon is used on the kick-patches to resist abrasion.
What are their features?
Starting at the top, the braces are fully adjustable, removable and feature a 'drop seat' feature, meaning you can unclip one of the straps for the braces, unzip the sides of the trousers and drop the seat away when you need to answer the call of nature. A velcro tab adjuster on the waist of the trousers lets you fine-tune the fit. Other features include a large bellowed thigh pocket with an internal securing clip and electronics pocket, full-length two-way side zips to make getting in and out of the Latok's easier, ankle gaiters with a secure lace hook and silicone grippers, under boot cord attachment points and finally an elasticated cuff drawcord.
How do they fit?
The Latok Bib's feature a 'regular' fit, meaning you can fit plenty of layers underneath on cold days, yet they still fit well with just a baselayer on underneath. Articulated knees and a relatively straight cut means you're never left feeling restricted.
