FAQs
What type of climbing are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for warm-weather climbing and mountaineering, offering excellent freedom of movement for routes with scrambling and varied terrain.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, the Rab Torque Mountain Shorts are water-resistant due to their fabric treatment but are not fully waterproof. They are designed for breathability and quick drying.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart and measure your waist. The shorts have a standard fit, and the partially elasticated waistband offers some flexibility.
Can I wear a base layer underneath these shorts?
Yes, you can wear a lightweight base layer underneath, especially in cooler conditions. However, they are primarily designed for warm weather and good breathability on their own.
What is the inseam length?
The inseam length is described as short, suitable for optimal mobility during climbing and hiking.
How many pockets are there and are they secure?
There are multiple zipped pockets: two hand pockets, one thigh pocket, and one back pocket, providing secure storage for essentials.
Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose
Utilize the discreet belt loops to add a belt for a more secure and personalized fit.
Pockets not closing securely
Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and that items stored are not preventing the zipper from closing completely.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. A low-heat tumble dry can help restore softness.
