What are the Capstone Pants?
The Rab Capstones are the ideal all-season peak to pub pants; They have all the capabilities of softshell walking trousers but in a casual five pocket style; They’re weather resistant, breathable, incredibly versatile, and ideal for hiking in changeable conditions. The Capstones combine performance and style, offering comfort, breathability and great freedom of movement.
What are they made of?
The Capstones are made out of a Matrix Double Weave fabric that is tough, abrasion resistant, breathable and quick drying – all the good things you want from a softshell trouser! On the inside the Matrix Fabric has a brushed back, which is exceptionally comfortable next to skin, even if you get wet. The brushed back also helps to move sweat and moisture away from your body, even on hot summer days, so you’ll be comfortable all day long. The trousers are then given a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which helps water from light showers, snow and splashes bead off from the pants – please note that this does not make the trousers waterproof, so remember to take out some waterproof shell trousers with you if the weather looks grim.
What are their features?
These trousers feature a jeans-style button fastening with YKK zip fly and belt loops that are wide enough to take most standard trouser belts. Storage-wise you get two hand pockets and two large back patch pockets – the right back pocket has concealed zipped open – ideal for stashing your card or keys.
How do they fit?
The Capstone Pants feature Rabs ‘Regular Fit’ so they are tailored to fit the shape of your body but they are not skin tight and have a bit more of a relaxed fit throughout the leg. The articulated knees mean that they won’t hinder your movements when you’re climbing and scrambling.
