Rab Men's Ascendor Light Pants

When versatility and protection in a lightweight design are required, these technical alpine trousers are crafted to excel during the most challenging vertical ascents and prolonged, hot multi-pitch climbs. A highly breathable adaptation of the popular winter mountaineering trousers, the Ascendor Light Trousers are constructed from ultralight and durable Matrix™ fabric, featuring a slim fit that ensures no hindrance during swift ascents. Stripped to essential features, they feel almost imperceptible when worn, yet are resilient enough to withstand rock, tools, and alpine rigours.

These trousers are designed to enhance mobility during climbs. The extended gusset at the crotch and knee articulation tailored for climbing provide the freedom needed for demanding moves. The tapered lower leg aids in locating footholds easily, while its stretchy hem ensures a secure fit over most summer alpine boots. Reinforced kicker patches with Matrix™ RX deliver added durability, and thoughtfully placed zipped hand and thigh pockets allow access to essentials while wearing a harness. The lightweight, part-elasticated waistband with a double snap closure offers comfort and minimal bulk, while low-profile belt loops enable a customised fit.

Lightweight, streamlined, and exceptionally robust, the Ascendor Light Trousers are an ideal choice for summer alpine pursuits.
