Women Rab Womens Elevation Pants – Past Season

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Perfect for climbing, hill-walking, or scrambling the Women’s Elevation Pants are a close fitting stretch pant with the durability and comfort of a soft-shell pant, but with the freedom of movement of a legging.

Rab says

Whether you’re climbing, hill-walking, or scrambling, the versatile Women’s Elevation Pants are equipped for the demands of a mountain day. Allowing full freedom of movement, they are made with lightweight Matrix™ double weave fabric with 4-way stretch.

With a slim fit and feminine cut, the Women’s Elevation Pants have a low-bulk, elasticated, deep waistband with drawcord adjustment. The zipped thigh pocket is large enough to fit a smartphone and keep other small items to hand, making these the essential stretch softshell pant for all outdoor activities.

Our Verdict

The women’s Rab Elevation Pants are a mix between a legging and a softshell trouser. They work in the same way as a softshell trouser thanks to the lightweight Matrix double weave fabric with 4-way stretch and DWR, but have a much closure fit. I wouldn’t say they are tight enough to be classed as a legging either so I’d say they sit somewhere between the two. However they do offer the same amount of stretch as a legging, so you can move more freely without any restrictions, especially on those challenging hiking days.

They feature a handy zipped thigh pocket to store essential items and a wide elasticated waistband with draw cord adjustment so they stay comfortable and secure no matter how demanding the trail is.
