What are the Momentum Shorts?
These versatile, multi-activity shorts are perfect for avid outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy exploring different terrains in a fast-paced manner. The quick-drying, lightweight technology keeps you comfortable all day long, helping you perform and feel your best throughout your adventures.
What are they made of?
Rab specifically chooses Matrix™ softshell fabrics for their enhanced performance qualities and UPF/UV protection. Matrix™ single weave nylon is used to construct these shorts, with a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent).
The fluorocarbon-free finish is much more sustainable than other treatments because it doesn't use chemicals harmful to the environment. DWR creates a light protective barrier on top of the material to improve water resistance and fight off sudden rain showers.
What are their features?
The manoeuvrable material provides improved flexibility, convenient when faced with steep inclines or scrambling up rocks. An elasticated waist with a drawcord adjustment helps to improve comfort as the waistband can move and breathe in tune with the body.
The drawcord adjustment makes for easy tightening or loosening of the waistband, handy if you're feeling a little discomfort when out and about and need a bit of extra relief.
Two open hand pockets with mesh linings are fantastic for storage and extra ventilation. The mesh lining creates additional airflow by allowing fresh air to travel through the pockets and underneath the fabric's surface - a clever feature for exploring warmer climates or when you're working up a sweat during high-intensity activity.
The YKK® zippered rear pocket offers more secure storage to stow away valuable items such as a phone or keys.
How do they fit?
These shorts are classed as a regular fit. They will hang slightly looser on the frame to increase freedom of movement and overall comfort.
Where do they fit in the layering system?
They are great as an outer layer in warmer weather. The softshell material is durable when encountering rougher surfaces, whilst being lightweight enough to help keep you cool in hotter seasons and climates.
