Designed for Women
Possibly the most sensible and adaptable pair of winter mountain walking trousers you can buy, the Rab Women's Vapour Rise Trail Pants have also been used to great effect ski touring, mountaineering and cold weather climbing.
Pertex Equilibrium fabric treated with water repellent Shield treatment deals with the rain, while a soft, high-wicking microfleece lining copes with the temperature, keeping your lower body warm and dry.
This is a perfect winter chill beater, minimising the number of times you will require a shell yet also avoiding overheating when you work hard.
Ideal for mountain walking, Alpine climbing and trek and travel adventures.

What the reviewers say about the Vapour Rise
"The main advantage of the Vapour Rise mid layer over the fleece mid layers I’d worn in the past was the better balance of wind resistance, warmth and wicking." Chosen by Steve Perry for the Winter 284 challenge'
“Vapour Rise trail pants and hooded tops are always part of my layering system. I’ve worn them throughout the entire journey. They keep the wind out, they keep me warm and they’re fast to dry when I get wet. A valuable all-rounder because I train in them when not on journeys, so an important addition to my kit.”
Gary Rolfe on his solo 2004 arctic coast journey from the Horton River to Kugluktuk, Nunavut
Pertex Equilirium
A new generation of lightweight protection.
Pertex Equilibrium uses clever technology and denier gradients to produce a fabric that's highly wind-resistant, extremely breathable and has rapid moisture dispersal. Shield treatment adds water-shedding properties.
Ideal as a fabric for those working hard, in varied conditions where heavy and prolonged rain is not likely to be encountered...also works under a conventional shell in these circumstances.
