What are the Kangri GTX Pants?
The Kangri GTX Pants are fully waterproof, windproof, breathable trousers ideal for year-round use in the hills and mountains. Made from a comfortable and robust fabric, they have been updated with the latest PFAS-Free Gore-Tex ePE membrane for a more environmentally responsible construction.
What are they made from?
Rab has built the trousers from 70 denier three-layer GORE-TEX Performance ePE with PFC-Free DWR for maximum protection from the elements, without any intentionally added PFAS/ PFC chemicals.
The trousers' three-layer construction comprises a durable 70 denier face fabric, a GORE-TEX Performance ePE waterproof and windproof membrane and a smooth polyamide lining.
The 70 denier face fabric is made from recycled polyamide (nylon) and is reassuringly sturdy, yet it's not too heavy or uncomfortable to hold you back. It's robust enough to deal with the abrasion from frequent use in the outdoors.
This latest Gore-Tex® ePE technology is made using recycled fabrics and without the use of PFAS/PFC chemicals for a significantly reduced environmental impact. If you were wondering, PFAS/PFCs are per or poly-fluorinated chemicals, aka 'forever chemicals' that stay permanently in the environment and cause lasting damage to our ecosystems. This is why many companies are working towards a completely PFC-free future, and this latest membrane from Gore-Tex® is a big step forward for the brand.
The GORE-TEX Performance ePE provides an exceptional Hydrostatic Head rating of 28,000mm to reliably shield you from the elements in various wet weather environments.
The trousers are finished with a PFC-Free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage rain, snow and mud to bead off the trousers instead of soaking in, helping to keep the trousers' waterproof membrane clean, protected and in tip-top shape.

What are their features?
A fully elasticated waistband provides a secure and comfortable fit around the waist, whilst the hook-and-loop waist tab adjustment allows you to make micro adjustments for the perfect fit over various layers.
Each side features a full-length YKK® AquaGuard ® zip for easy on-and-offs over various chunky footwear. The internal storm guard and AquaGuard zips help prevent water from seeping through the fastenings when fully closed.
The knees are articulated to provide a more natural shape and a little extra room in vital areas to prevent you from splitting the trousers on steep ascents.
For storage, there are two YKK® AquaGuard® pockets for keeping trail essentials close to hand. Hyperlon under-boot cord attachment loops allow you to easily secure the trousers to your boots, helping seal out the elements and act as an integrated gaiter to help keep mud and snow from entering your boots.
Finally, the trousers feature Rab's regular fit, which offers enough room to layer underneath, without being too big and bulky.
