Why We Like The Ascendor Light Pant
Tough yet stretchy, these softshell pants are the best companion for casual days at the crag or on multiday ascents. Their durable face is made from Rab's proprietary Matrix, an abrasion- and weather-resistant shell perfect for protection on a rocky face. Internally, the lining wicks moisture to keep us cool and comfortable. These pants are crafted with stretchy fabric and articulated design, letting us confidently maneuver through our climbs.

Very comfortable and well fitting,
Very comfortable and well fitting, they seem to be made very well with high quality materials. Perfect for warm days outdoors when it's a bit cool in the morning, or you need some sun protection, so don't want to wear shorts

These are amazing climbing trousers.
These are amazing climbing trousers. They give a great range of movement and are surprisingly wind resistant, which I wasn't expecting. However, the stitching is extremely poor quality. After one wash the stitches started to fall out. Service from Rab to resolve it is extremely slow.

One of the best climber
One of the best climber trousers that I have. I wish we had some brighter colours too (not only grey and blue). I’m 188cm and I use 32 long (always a helpful information I guess)

These great looking pants for
These great looking pants for my husband’s 58th birthday as climbing is his No.1 passion. He was chuffed to bits with them thanks to the perfect fit, comfort, the feel of the fabric and stretchiness. Excellent quality and certainly fit for purpose.

Great Pants
These pants are very light weight. And also very wind resistant. They dry fast when getting wet. And they are slim fitting which stops flapping in windy conditions. What I also love is that the material is quiet when walking which is also overlooked when purchasing pants.

I love Rab Torque pants,
I love Rab Torque pants, but this was my first time buying the Ascendor. As it says, it's lighter weight than the Torque. It has a fully elasticated waist, so fit doesn't have to be precise. After many years of buying other brands, Rab is now the only brand of walking trouser I wear.
