FAQs
What type of mountain activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are ideal for intense mountain activities in warmer weather, such as hiking, scrambling, climbing, and trekking on rocky or varied terrain.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, the Rab Torque Trousers are softshell and are designed for breathability and freedom of movement. They have a DWR finish for water repellency against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
While they offer some wind resistance, they are primarily designed for warmer conditions. For colder weather, layering with a warm base layer underneath is recommended, but they may not provide sufficient insulation for very low temperatures.
How do I clean the trousers?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
What is the main advantage of the Matrix™ fabric?
The Matrix™ fabric provides four-way stretch, offering exceptional freedom of movement and flexibility, which is crucial for dynamic mountain activities.
Are there any specific care instructions for the reinforcements?
The reinforced areas at the knees, thighs, and hems are designed for durability. Standard washing and drying procedures are sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods directly on these areas.
What kind of belt system do they have?
They feature a partially elasticated and comfortable belt system designed to stay secure without restricting movement.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Clean the trousers to remove dirt and oils, then reapply a DWR finish following product instructions.
Stiffness after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low heat can also help restore some softness.
Zipper becomes stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
