Rab Mens Ascendor Light Pants
All about this product
General
These technical alpine pants are designed to offer both flexibility and protection within a lightweight design, catering to the demands of challenging vertical missions and prolonged multi-pitch routes in hot conditions. Constructed from the ultralight and durable Matrix fabric, a breathable adaptation of the well-regarded winter mountaineering pants, the Ascendor Light Pants feature a slim fit that facilitates swift ascents without hindrance. Despite their toughness against rock and tools, these pants remain barely noticeable when worn due to their streamlined design and essential features.
Designed for optimal climbing mobility, the pants incorporate a lengthy gusset at the crotch and climbing-specific knee articulation, providing the necessary freedom for executing challenging moves. The tapered lower leg facilitates easy foothold identification, while its stretchy hem ensures a secure fit over most summer alpine boots. Enhanced durability is achieved through Matrix RX-reinforced kicker patches, and strategically placed zipped hand and thigh pockets which offer convenient access to essentials even when wearing a harness. The lightweight, fully exposed, part-elasticated waistband with a double snap closure ensures comfort and minimal bulk, complemented by discreet belt loops for personalised fit adjustments.
With their trifecta of qualities—lightweight design, slim profile, and remarkable toughness—the Ascendor Light Pants emerge as the preferred choice for summer alpine adventures.
