Trousers Rab Torque - Blue - 36

The Torque Pants are designed as technical softshell trousers for climbing and summer alpinism, best suited for active use in warmer conditions or as a flexible layer. For very cold weather, layering with insulated garments would be necessary.

Refer to the Rab sizing chart for accurate measurements. The pants feature a slim fit with a partially elasticated waistband, so consider your waist and hip measurements. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick base layers, you might consider sizing up.

The pants have a DWR treatment that provides resistance to wind and light water. They are not waterproof and are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. For heavy rain, a waterproof shell layer would be required.

Matrix™ fabric, used in the Torque Pants, is known for its high stretch, breathability, and excellent abrasion resistance, making it ideal for dynamic mountain sports where both mobility and durability are crucial.

The reinforcements on the knees, thighs, and ankles are made from a highly abrasion-resistant material designed to withstand the demands of climbing and scrambling, significantly extending the lifespan of the pants in high-wear areas.

Yes, the slim fit, articulated knees, and the design of the waistband are intended to be compatible with climbing harnesses without significant interference.

These pants are ideal for technical activities such as rock climbing, mountaineering, scrambling, and fast-paced trekking, especially in conditions where flexibility, durability, and breathability are prioritized over full waterproofing.

Wash the trousers with a technical fabric cleaner and then re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Heat activation (like a cool tumble dry) can help bond the treatment to the fabric.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap, then rinse. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners or harsh detergents during washing. Follow the recommended care instructions for optimal fabric performance.

Verify that the articulated knees are properly aligned with your leg movements. Ensure the fit is correct for your body shape; the slim fit is designed for mobility but may require adjustment.
