The Rab Ascendor Pants are specifically designed for climbing, alpine mountaineering, and challenging mountain adventures where mobility, durability, and harness compatibility are essential. They are also suitable for general hiking in variable conditions.
The pants feature a Fluorocarbon Free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which provides water resistance against light rain and snow. They are not fully waterproof and are best suited for conditions where heavy, prolonged rain is unlikely or when used as a layer under a waterproof shell.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softener and dry cleaning. Re-apply DWR treatment as needed to maintain water repellency.
These pants are designed to accommodate summer alpine and B2 mountaineering boots. While they might fit over some ski boot tongues, they are not specifically designed for ski touring or ski mountaineering and may not offer the necessary insulation or gaiter features for deep snow conditions.
The slim fit is designed to be streamlined, reducing snagging hazards on rock and keeping the fabric close to the body for better articulation. It also ensures the pants fit neatly over or under boots and work well with harnesses without excess material.
The kicker patches are reinforced with a tough, high-wear material (222gsm) specifically to resist damage from crampons, boot edges, and general rock abrasion, significantly increasing the durability of the lower leg area.
The pants weigh approximately 319.5g (11.3oz) for a size Medium.
Ensure the pants are the correct size. The articulated knee design requires some space to function properly. If sizing is correct, try adjusting the ankle hem for optimal fit.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR finish suitable for softshell fabrics according to the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before re-proofing.
Verify the correct size has been selected. Ensure the waistband is properly fastened and the ankle hems are adjusted correctly. The articulation is designed for climbing movements; check if the restriction occurs during non-climbing activities.
Setup: The Rab Ascendor Pants are ready to wear straight out of the packaging. The waistband features a snap closure and zip fly for a secure fit. Adjustments at the ankle hem can be made using the snap button closure to accommodate different boot styles.
