A winter weight softshell pant that really does work, they are highly water & wind resistant, amazingly breathable & tough as old boots. These brilliant pants were made to just get on with the job without any fuss or marketing flannel. Using Rab’s fantastic dual fabric Vapour rise construction, these pants offer amazing levels of breathability, weather resistance & durability. Your body heat acts as a pump working with the wicking micro fleece lining to push moisture away from your skin & move it to the face fabric. Pertex Equilibrium face fabric has larger filaments on the inside & smaller filaments on the outside. The laws of capillary action dictate that moisture will move from large filaments to smaller ones, pulling your sweat away from the lining & spreading it out over the large outer surface area. This evaporative heat loss & moisture wicking create a temperature equilibrium to keep you comfortable & dry in all conditions. Finally a robust DWR treatment on the outside repels water The Vapour Rise Guide Pants have winterised the standard VR fabric with the addition of standard weight VR fleece lining & heavy duty double weave softshell face fabrics. Fully featured with 2 hand warmer pockets, half leg zips, zipped leg vents & a part elasticated & belted waistband with brace loops these gnarly pants are ready for action. This combination of fabrics & features creates a pant that balances weather protection, warmth & maximum breathability. An ideal piece of outdoor gear for mountaineers, winter walkers & climbers.
