Rab Ascendor As Women's Softshell Pants

Product detailed description

Women's pants Rab Ascendor AS are versatile pants designed specifically for year-round mountain climbing. They are a heavier version of the summer-oriented Ascendor Light and thus offer greater thermal comfort for climbing in colder conditions.

Like the entire “Ascendor” family, they are made from the proven Matrix™ material, also used, for example, in Rab bestsellers Borealis Jacket, or Torque pants, which they are partially based on. For the Ascendor AS Rab model, Rab used a medium weight of 207 g/m² with a brushed inner surface to improve insulation properties. Softshell Matrix™ is stretchy and abrasion-resistant, highly breathable, and provides excellent wind protection. It also features a DWR finish for basic water protection.

The pants feature a perfectly tailored, close-fitting cut with anatomically shaped knees and a gusseted crotch, ensuring unrestricted movement even during the most challenging climbing maneuvers. A high, elastic waistband with the option to use suspenders or a belt further enhances overall comfort. Already abrasion-resistant, the pants feature reinforcement on the inner ankle with an even stronger material for greater durability when used with climbing crampons, or protection against being cut by ski edges during ski mountaineering. To complement this, Rab has also adapted the pant legs, equipping them with an elastic gusset featuring a zipper that can be pulled over mountaineering or ski mountaineering boots, but works just as well with classic trail running shoes.

You can conveniently store your essentials in two zippered pockets with mesh lining and one zippered thigh pocket that’s easily accessible even when wearing a harness. With the Rab Ascendor AS, you get all-season performance pants that will reliably protect you from the elements, whether you’re climbing a snow-covered couloir or battling the north faces of the Alps. At the same time, the pants maintain a reasonable weight of 409 g (size S).
