Top Rated: Rab Vertex Pants (9.0 / 10)
Category: Lightweight (Under 300g) Softshell Trousers
My Rab Vertex Pants have been scraped and dragged over sharp rocks, boulders, scree, cacti, thistles. Poked and snagged by branches, tangled in vines and attacked by Rottweilers. They've handled it all fine. Me? ... not so much. Extremely light, tough and durable, yet stretchy, breathable and very comfortable, the Vertex Pants offer a surprising degree of protection from the sun, wind, prickly undergrowth and harsh rocky terrain. Absolutely ideal for long distance mountain trekking and scrambling, Did Rab design these specifically for Scramble? ... No, but they might as well have. Rab's Vertex Pants are our top pick in the Lightweight Softshell Trousers (not pants) category.
