Rab Ascendor Pant - Women's Tempest Blue, L

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I use these for shoulder-season climbing when conditions are mixed and movement matters. They stretch easily for high steps, sit comfortably under a harness, and shrug off rock abuse better than lighter softshells. The articulation really stands out on steep terrain."When shoulder-season objectives call for precision footwork and confident movement, we pull on the Ascendor Pant and tie in. Built by Rab for technical alpine climbing, these slim-fitting softshell pants deliver the balance of protection and mobility we need for mixed routes and variable conditions. The tough Matrix(TM) double weave fabric resists abrasion from rock while staying breathable and low bulk under a harness. Exceptional articulation and a long gusset allow unrestricted knee lift on steep pitches, while reinforced kicker patches protect against crampon strikes. Harness-compatible pockets keep essentials within reach, and adjustable hems dial in the fit with a range of boots. From cold approaches to technical leads, these pants earn their place in our shoulder-season kit.
