Rab Incline Light Pant Short - Anthracite - maat L

The Rab Incline Light Pant Short is a high-performance hiking pant designed for men who demand lightweight, durable, and quick-drying clothing for multi-day treks and alpine adventures. Crafted from Matrix™ single weave stretch fabric, these pants offer exceptional freedom of movement and breathability, while the DWR finish provides reliable water repellency. The short leg length (shorter inseam) is ideal for warmer conditions or for those who prefer a cropped fit.

The UPF 50+ rating offers excellent sun protection, making them suitable for exposed trails.
