Full details
The Rab Torque Mountain Shorts are designed for adult males seeking durable, comfortable, and functional shorts for all-mountain activities like scrambles and treks. Their key benefit is providing freedom of movement and comfort in hot weather due to lightweight, stretchy, and fast-drying fabric. A potential caveat is the focus on functionality over highly technical features, making them ideal for general mountain use rather than extreme conditions. These shorts feature a Matrix double weave fabric, a part-elasticated waistband with snap closure, low-profile belt loops, and multiple zipped pockets for secure storage of small items.
