What are the Elevation Pants?
The Elevation Pants aren't quite leggings, they aren't quite softshell trousers, they're half way between the two. If you've forever been craving a pair of outdoor trousers but couldn't quite get on with the look of them, the Elevation Pants should be a winner. They feature a softshell fabric and a legging fit, allowing them to look incredibly 'normal', yet perform well above average.
What are they made from?
These trousers are made using Rab's own Matrix double weave softshell fabric. This fabric features a 4-way stretch for unrivalled freedom of movement, a durable water repellent outer fabric to deal with general mountainous abuse and a UPF 30+ rating for protection against the sun's harmful UV rays. Low bulk seams increase comfort even further and reduces the chance of chafing over long periods of time.
What are their features?
You get one zipped thigh pocket and a deep waistband to increase comfort while carrying heavy packs. Like most leggings/trousers, these are simple yet highly effective.
How do they fit?
The Elevation Pants fit a little looser than a pair of sports leggings, yet much slimmer than your standard pair of outdoor softshell trousers.
Summary
If you can't get along with a trouser's look but require the performance that they offer, the Elevation Pants could be the answer to your prayers. They're weather resistant, durable, comfortable and subtly styled.
