Product Information

Full details

The Rab Downpour Pants are designed for hikers and everyday outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable waterproof protection. These pants offer excellent breathability and freedom of movement thanks to their Pertex Shield 2.5L construction and articulated design. A potential drawback is that, like all waterproof garments, breathability is limited compared to non-waterproof pants. Key features include full-length gussets, and ¾-length side zippers for ventilation and easy on-off.

FAQs

Are these pants suitable for winter use?

While the Rab Downpour Pants offer good weather protection, they are best suited for milder temperatures. Consider layering them with insulated base layers for winter use.

How do I measure for the correct size?

Refer to the Rab size guide, which is available on their website, for accurate measurements. Consider your waist and hip measurements.

What is the benefit of the side zippers?

The ¾-length side zippers allow for easy on-and-off, especially over boots. They also serve as vents for improved airflow.

How should I store the pants when not in use?

Store the pants in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storage.

What is the warranty on these pants?

Refer to the Rab website or the product packaging for warranty information.

Can I iron these pants?

No, do not iron the pants as this can damage the fabric and affect the DWR finish.

Are these pants sustainable?

Yes, these pants are made from 50D 100% Recycled Polyester with a Fluorocarbon-Free DWR, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the pants.

Check if the DWR finish needs to be reapplied. Wash the pants and re-proof them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Also, check for any damage to the fabric.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Clean the zippers with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a zipper lubricant if necessary.
