What are the Skyline Tights? The Skyline Tights from Rab are a softshell tight ideally suited to moving through the mountains at pace, climbing and just generally any outdoor activity. They offer full stretch for freedom of movement and a DWR for added water repellency for when conditions are less than ideal.
What is the Skyline Tight made from?The Skyline Tights are made from Reflex, a double knit stretch softshell fabric which offers enhanced comfort and breathability, as well as light wind and water resistance. It features a smooth nylon 66 outer face for improved abrasion resistance and a soft polyester inner to really enhance the next to skin feel of the tight and to aide in moisture management. The knees and seat have been reinforced with Matrix double weave nylon panels which will protect from any snagging when scrambling or moving through technical terrain.
What are the features? The feature list of these tights isn’t expansive, but they still cover everything you’d need from a midweight running tight. The waistband is a deep double layer for increased comfort, with both elastic and a drawcord for adjustment. The back of the waistband features a YKK zipped pocket, ideal for any valuables or an energy gel. The knees and seat have been reinforced for additional abrasion resistance so these tights are nice and tough where you need them to be. The lower legs feature YKK zipped ankle gussets for on the fly volume adjustment. They also feature reflective logo details for increased visibility
How do the Skyline Tights fit?The Skyline Tights are designed to be worn next to skin, so the fit is intended to be snug. The Reflex fabric keeps the fit comfortable and restriction-free, so full freedom of movement is achieved.
Where does it fit in the layering system?The tights can be worn standalone, over a lightweight baselayer, or as a heavy baselayer in cold conditions.
