Made from a lightweight, Matrix softshell, these shorts are ideal for all mountain activities. With their fast-drying fabric they’re perfect for changeable conditions.

Rab says:

With stretch, mobility and high-performance fabric, the Momentum Shorts are built to keep you moving all day long no matter what terrain or conditions you encounter. Lightweight and fast drying the lightweight Matrix™ fabric with fluorocarbon-free DWR, offers wind and weather resistance, ideal for variable conditions. They have a comfortable, deep stretch waistband with a simple drawcord adjuster, two front hand pockets. Perfect for mountain trekking, hiking and general outdoor use.

Our Verdict

The Momentum shorts have been updated to offer an even lighter weigh short that performs equally as well as its predecessor. 

Rab have modified the shape of the short so that they no longer feel just like a running shor but more of an allrounder for multi-use on hikes, trekking, climbing, scrambling etc… 

One interesting feature is that they have removed the rear zip pocket and instead included two pockets on the side making more space to carry essentials.
