FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for warm-weather mountain activities such as climbing, hiking, scrambling, and general trekking where mobility and breathability are key.
How do I know if the size will fit me correctly?
The shorts have a standard fit with a partially elasticated waistband. We recommend checking the Rab sizing chart and comparing your waist measurements. The inseam length is described as 'short'.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, the shorts are made from a durable, breathable, and quick-drying nylon fabric, but they are not waterproof. They are designed for comfort in dry or mixed conditions where breathability is prioritized.
Can I wear a belt with these shorts?
Yes, the shorts feature discreet belt loops, allowing you to wear a belt for a more secure or customized fit if desired.
How many pockets do the shorts have and are they secure?
The shorts have multiple zipped pockets, including two hand pockets, one thigh pocket, and one back pocket. The zippers ensure your essentials are stored securely.
What is the weight of the shorts?
The shorts weigh approximately 226.5g (7.9oz) for a Size Medium, making them lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
How should I care for my Rab Torque Mountain Shorts?
It is recommended to machine wash them cold (30°C), wash with similar colors, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting if needed. Avoid dry cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose
Utilize the discreet belt loops to add a belt for a more secure and customized fit.
Fabric feels slightly stiff after washing
Tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid high heat which can damage synthetic fibers. Ensure you followed the washing instructions precisely.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to open/close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. If stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth can help, or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forceful tugging.
