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?
The Momentum Women's Shorts are constructed using a combination of technical fabrics, including Matrix™ single weave nylon and Flexile™ 100 with a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent).
Matrix™ - Matrix™ is a specialised technical softshell explicitly chosen by Rab for its unique performance qualities and UPF/UV protection. The Momentum Shorts use a Matrix™ stretch single weave structure, providing a more flexible, lightweight feel.
Flexile™ 100 - This is a lightweight, extra breathable nylon and elastane stretch knit. Made with a specialised blend of fibres, Flexile™ 100 offers a durable layer of moisture-wicking technology that is flexible and supportive.
Fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent (DWR) – this water repellent offers light protection against rain showers. However, it doesn't mean the material is fully waterproof. Using a fluorocarbon-free treatment is much more sustainable than regular treatments because they don't use chemicals harmful to the environment.
What are their features?
The manoeuvrable material provides improved flexibility, convenient when faced with steep inclines or scrambling up rocks.
A deep stretch waistband keeps you feeling tucked in and secure, which can be altered easily using the drawcord adjustment to optimise comfort and overall fit.
Two open hand pockets with mesh linings are fantastic for storage and ventilation. The clever mesh lining creates additional airflow by allowing fresh air to travel through the pockets. Mesh linings come in handy when exploring warmer climates or working up a sweat during high-intensity activity.
How do they fit?
These shorts are classed as a slim fit. They will sit closer to the body to enhance coverage and prevent gaping whilst optimising the wicking technology by keeping the fabric close to the skin.
Where do they fit in the layering system?
These are awesome as an outer layer in warmer weather. The softshell material is durable when encountering rougher surfaces, whilst being lightweight and breathable enough to help keep you cool in hot temperatures.
