The updated Elevation Pants blend the movement of leggings with softshell protection, making them perfect for fast-paced mountain days.
Rab says:
Lightweight and slim-fitting, these versatile softshell pants are designed for movement on steep hikes, climbs, and scrambles. Built with a tough double-weave fabric, they offer the durability of pants with the comfort and freedom of leggings.
Our Verdict
At 337g for a UK 12, these are trim and tough, with Rab’s Matrix double-weave fabric offering stretch and abrasion resistance in equal measure. The fit is snug but active — close enough for layering under waterproofs, yet still breathable and mobile on warmer days. The wide waistband sits flat under a harness or pack, though I found sizing up improved comfort without losing the flattering cut. The thigh pocket is well-placed and fits a phone without bounce, and the water-resistant finish holds up in brief showers or damp vegetation.
