Rab’s Tour Pant Picks Up Backcountry Magazine Editors’ Choice Award

October 9, 2024

New Low Bulk Ski Pants Available Beginning This Fall

Louisville, CO – /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ Rab, the industry leader in merging the development of quality outdoor gear and apparel with sustainability and environmental awareness, added another accolade today as Backcountry Magazine honored the company’s new Tour Pants with an Editors’ Choice award.

Available beginning this fall, the new Tour Pants are lightweight, low-bulk ski pants with a breathable fabric combination which makes them ideal for Spring skiing/ touring. They offer a slim fit offering excellent mobility for skinning uphill, while the tour boot-compatible hem features an ankle zip and internal gaiter to seal out snow.

The Tour Pants also offer Matrix™ stretch double weave nylon with fluorocarbon-free DWR as well as a lightweight, part-elasticated hook and loop waistband that reduces bulk while providing support and structure. The waistband features a double snap closure and 1-way YKK® zip fly, and the pants include an internal mesh stash pocket on the right-hand thigh with a security loop.

“These are the perfect sunny day, volcano pants,” Backcountry Magazine’s reviewers wrote. “Just enough to be warm in the predawn hours when the snow is frozen, but not so hot when the sun’s out.”

Two additional products from Rab were also honored by Backcountry Magazine as Gear Guide Selects: the new Khroma Converge and the new Glaceon Pro Jacket, which will both be available beginning this fall. For more information on these products, please visit https://rab.equipment/us/.
