Rab Torque VR softshell pants are designed for the mixed activities and weather conditions of winter mountaineering.

The Vapour-Rise™ polyester lining does a great job of wicking away moisture in high-perspiration areas. And the double-knit Matrix™ polyamide shell with integrated elastane also provides unrivaled flexibility and full freedom of stretch. The shell is breathable enough for strenuous climbing, and the DWR coating improves weather resistance. In addition to reinforced knees and ankles, there are expandable ankle gussets with YKK® zippers to accommodate larger boots, and zippered thigh vents for easy temperature adjustment.

Durable, warm and breathable, the Torque VR Trousers feature suspender attachment points, four external zippered pockets and a two-way YKK® zip that is compatible with harnesses.

Technology

• Matrix™ is a technological fabric that provides protection from wind and bad weather, as well as breathability. Ideal for all mountain activities, the material dries quickly and guarantees a high level of UPF protection. High-quality and durable material.
• Vapour-Rise™ is a soft and warm fabric that provides excellent protection from wind and moisture. Effectively regulates temperature and keeps you dry, ideal for extreme conditions, low temperatures and mountain hiking.
• DWR «durable water repellent» is a «wear-resistant water-repellent impregnation» and is used to treat fabrics that are used in sewing clothes, backpacks, awnings and even sleeping bags. DWR is a layer of durable hydrophobic polymer that is applied to the material and forms a specific structure that reduces the surface tension coefficient. This causes water droplets to roll off the treated material without wetting it.
• YKK® – high-quality zippers manufactured by the Japanese company YKK Group, certified to meet international standards. Resistant to increased force loads and corrosion. Used in products of the highest degree of reliability.

Brand

Rab is a British manufacturer of clothing and equipment for rock climbing and mountaineering, whose specialty is high-quality and technologically advanced sports technical clothing, down insulation and headwear. The balaclavas of this manufacturer, for example, are among the best models on the market, and the sleeping bags also stand out for their thoughtfulness.

The company was founded in 1981 by leading Scottish mountaineer Rab Carrington. Drawing on his own experience in numerous expeditions, Carrington created clothing to provide comfort, protection and freedom in the mountains, hiking, climbing or mountaineering.

Rab down jackets, sleeping bags and expedition clothing are made from ethically sourced European goose and duck down, certified to the Responsible Down standard. A fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment called Nikwax is also applied to the down used in clothing and sleeping bags to prevent them from becoming weighed down by water. In addition, high-quality synthetics are also used for insulation. Rab clothing has become "synonymous with high-quality down products."
