Rab Torque Mountain Touring Shorts heren XL blauw/tint

When the trail climbs steep and the sun beats down, ordinary shorts bind, chafe, and leave you soaked. The Rab Torque Mountain Shorts solve that with a Matrix™ stretch double weave that moves with every high step and shrugs off showers with a fluorocarbon-free DWR finish. Built for hiking, trekking, climbing, and mountain walking, these shorts combine rugged durability with featherlight breathability, so you stay dry, comfortable, and focused on the route ahead.

Who is it for

Men who demand versatile performance in the mountains—whether you're scrambling up a rocky ridge, trekking through humid forests, or belaying at the crag. The regular/active fit suits athletic builds without restricting movement, and the XL size provides generous room for layering or a more relaxed feel.

Main features

• Matrix™ stretch double weave nylon fabric (95% polyamide, 5% elastane) offers 2-way stretch for unrestricted mobility.
• Fluorocarbon-free DWR treatment repels light rain and dirt while remaining environmentally responsible.
• UPF 50+ sun protection shields your skin from harmful UV rays on long, exposed days.

Tips

Pair these shorts with a lightweight merino base layer for all-day comfort in variable conditions. For multi-day treks, rinse them in a stream and they'll be dry by morning thanks to the quick-drying fabric. The zippered thigh pocket is ideal for a phone or energy gel, while the rear pocket secures a map or wallet. Reapply DWR treatment after heavy use to maintain water repellency.
