Trousers Rab Torque - Grey

No, the Rab Torque Pants are softshell trousers, designed for breathability and freedom of movement. They offer a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to shed light rain and snow, but they are not fully waterproof.

They are ideal for intense mountain activities in warmer weather, such as climbing, hiking, trekking, and scrambling, where flexibility, durability, and breathability are important.

While they are primarily designed for warmer conditions, you can layer them over a base layer for added warmth during cooler temperatures. However, they may not be sufficient for extreme cold without additional insulation.

Refer to the Rab sizing guide for specific measurements. The trousers feature a partially elasticated waist, but a good base fit is essential for comfort and performance.

The reinforcements at the knees, thighs, and hems are made from a robust material designed to resist abrasion from rock and gear, significantly increasing the trousers' lifespan in rugged environments.

The zippered gusseted cuffs are designed to accommodate hiking boots and approach shoes. They are unlikely to fit comfortably over the bulk of ski boots.

Ensure you have used a mild soap and rinsed thoroughly. Fabric conditioners can stiffen softshell fabrics. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Re-proofing may help restore fabric feel.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics following the product's instructions.

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of dirt or debris. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help the zipper glide smoothly.

Ensure the trousers are worn with appropriate undergarments. The fit should allow for movement without chafing. Check for any manufacturing defects in the seam construction.
