What are the Torque Mountain Shorts?
Designed to provide unhindered movement in the mountains, the Torque Mountain Shorts are super comfy, stretchy shorts that are durable enough to take a challenge in rugged terrain. They're robust, quick drying and lightweight, making them perfect for adventures between spring and autumn, whether hill walking, hiking or scrambling.
What are they made of?
These shorts are constructed with a specialised Matrix™ double weave stretch fabric. Matrix™ softshell fabrics are chosen by Rab due to their enhanced performance qualities and UPF/UV protection, making the Torque Mountain Shorts an essential addition to your outdoor wardrobe!
The Matrix™ double weave stretch allows enhanced freedom of movement due to its flexible nature.
The material is treated with a fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent (DWR). Fluorocarbon-free finishes are much more sustainable than other treatments, as they do not use any chemicals that will harm the environment. The 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 part elasticated waistband feels smooth on the skin and stretches to help improve freedom of movement. The waistband is fastened with a YKK® zip fly double snap closure and has belt loops for added security, which double up well as extra storage if you want to hook a small carabiner to your essentials.
Four pockets in total offer a multitude of more secure storage options. Two YKK® zipped hand pockets are suitable for storing smaller items such as snacks or a GPS. Other valuables like keys or your phone fits well in the thigh or rear zippered pockets - whichever feels more comfortable and has a lesser chance of obstructing complicated movements when full.
A long length gusset is a key detail on these shorts, or any outdoor bottoms for that matter - because nobody wants split pants! The gusset at the crotch allows increased mobility in crucial areas to take pressure off vital seams and add extra durability.
How do they fit?
The Torque Mountain Shorts come in a regular fit, meaning they sit a little looser on the frame, allowing better mobility to help you push through challenging mountain ascents.
