Rab Incline AS Pants

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Our mid-weight softshell pants are made for mountain hiking in all conditions. With a durable Matrix Double Weave fabric for weather resistance and a brushed inner for next-to-skin comfort, they offer the perfect blend of warmth and breathability.

Rab says

The new Incline AS Pant is an evolution of our best-selling Vector Pant, with improved articulation and strengthened construction. These all-season, mountain hiking, softshell pants can be used for all kinds of mountain activities. They are built with a mid-weight Matrix™ double weave fabric, providing wind and weather resistance.

The Incline AS have a fleece lined waistband and a brushed inner for warmth and softness next to skin. The tough and durable Matrix™ fabric copes well with rugged, mountainous terrain, and it’s breathable too. This keeps you comfortable on more demanding ascents, regulating your temperature as intensity increases and maintaining warmth when static. The Incline AS pants have storage for essentials in two zipped hand pockets and one zipped thigh pocket. These all mountain pants offer excellent mobility, with articulated knees and a long length gusset. Critical seams have been reinforced throughout, maximising strength and durability. Perfect for hiking and scrambling, the Incline AS pant are suitable for ascents in varied conditions.

Our Verdict

Rab’s Incline AS Pants are best used in Early Spring and Autumn time due to their slightly thicker fabric and brushed fleece inners. The new Articulated knee gives them a more natural unrestrictive feel when scrambling and going up steps.

The 4 pockets provide more than enough storage space for anything you like to keep on you while walking.

The belt that’s included with these trousers is an added bonus and comfortable to wear even for extended walks.
