What are the Photon Pants?
The Photon Pants have been updated for this season and now use recycled fabrics. The Photons are very warm and protective trousers for use in extreme conditions. Also suitable as an over-layer on cold belays, for extra warmth and comfort around camp or when stationary for longer periods.
What are they made of?
Insulation: Rab's versatile Photon Pants are insulated with Primaloft Gold Insulation. This super warm and tough insulation is perfect for static protection in extreme conditions with micro-fibres that trap body heat to make it the most thermally efficient synthetic insulation. The insulation absorbs very little water, dries exceptionally quickly and retains 95% of warmth when wet. These warm and durable pants are therefore perfect for long periods of inactivity in wet and cold conditions such as belaying, wildlife watching or photography.
Fabrics: The outer of the trousers are made from the Recycled 30D Pertex Quantum, providing high levels of water resistance, wind resistance and durability. Despite its tough nature, it's exceptionally lightweight and packable, making these trousers the perfect item to stick in your rucksack and pull out when you need them most. To increase durability and weather resistance, Rab use the fully waterproof and recycled Pertex Shield reinforcements on the knees, instep and seat.On the inside of the trousers Rab use a fully recycled, soft 20D lining – so not only do you get a pair of exceptionally warm trousers, but they also have very impressive environmental credentials!
What are the features?
The Photon's main features include full length side zips so you can get them on and off easily – this full length zip has an insulated baffle behind it so you don’t lose precious body heat out of it. Additional features include two YKK zipped hand warmer pockets, a YKK zippered fly, an elasticated rear waistband, brace-compatible loops and an included stuffsack.
How do they fit?
The Photons feature Rabs Regular fit – so they are designed to fit close, but not restrictive. They also have enough room underneath them for baselayers on those extra chilly days.
