Rab's Incline Pants

Rab haven't attempted anything ground-breaking or novel-for-no-reason, instead they've kept it nice and simple: tough enough, stretchy enough, breathable, a good non-billowy cut, three leg lengths (S, R, L), belt loops (no integrated belt nonsense), the right number of zipped pockets in all the right places and well implemented, unfussy drawcord hem adjusters.

Rab's Inclines are light enough for a standard UK summer, yet heavy enough to function as the backbone of a modular trouser, fortified internally and externally to function in harsh winter conditions. The excellent Inclines are Scramble's top pick in the Lightweight Softshell Trousers category.
