What are the Momentum Pants?
They're lightweight, multi-activity outdoor trousers designed to keep you comfortable and cool on warm days in the mountains. Super soft, breathable and moisture-wicking, their flattering slim fit and great articulation make them ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking to cover more ground, move faster and minimise weight.
What are they made from?
Rab's Momentum Pants are constructed from Matrix™ stretch single weave nylon, comprising of polyamide and elastane.
Matrix™ is a specialised line of softshell fabrics selected by Rab for their unique performance qualities. It's wind-resistant, air-permeable and offers excellent levels of breathability. The material also offers UPF protection to shield your skin from sun exposure whilst being exceptionally lightweight and stretchy, for unhindered movement for climbing and scrambling in warm climates. The trousers are lined with smooth recycled polyester fabric for added coverage and increased moisture-wicking capabilities.
The trousers are finished with a fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent (DWR). This coating offers light protection against rain showers. However, it doesn't mean the material is fully waterproof. Using a fluorocarbon-free treatment is much more sustainable than regular treatments because they don't use chemicals harmful to the environment.
What are their features?
The Momentum Pants feature an easy pull-on style for reduced weight and bulk around the midsection, improving overall comfort whilst bending down and tackling tricky climbing routes.
A comfortable stretch waistband can be altered easily using a drawcord adjustment to optimise comfort and overall fit.
For storage, there are two open hand pockets with mesh linings and a zippered rear pocket. The mesh lining provides additional ventilation to the trousers by allowing fresh air to travel through the pockets - great for exploring warmer climates or working up a sweat during high-intensity activity.
A long-length gusset at the crotch enables increased mobility and durability by allowing extra stretch and taking stress off vital seams, helping to prevent any embarrassing trouser-splitting incidents! Meanwhile, articulated knees allow ease of movement and help improve comfort when bending and stretching.
