FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
The Rab Incline Trousers are wind and weather-resistant with a water-repellent treatment, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to handle light rain and showers effectively.
What type of activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are ideal for hiking, trekking, and general outdoor activities in milder conditions. Their stretch and breathability make them excellent for dynamic movement.
Can I wear a base layer underneath?
Yes, the standard fit allows for a lightweight base layer to be worn underneath for added warmth in cooler conditions.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Rab sizing guide for accurate measurements. The trousers have a standard fit but include an adjustable waistband and ankle drawcords for fine-tuning.
What is the weight of the trousers?
The trousers weigh approximately 339g / 12oz for a size 32.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
The fluorocarbon-free DWR finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat. For a more significant refresh, use a compatible re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment as per product instructions.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on fabric surface
This can sometimes occur with softshell fabrics due to abrasion. Ensure no rough backpack straps are constantly rubbing against the fabric. Follow care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
Water repellency decreasing
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish needs reapplication over time. Clean the trousers and apply a suitable DWR treatment, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate.
Zippers feel stiff
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
