Men's Ascendor Pant

The Men's Ascendor Pant is a midweight softshell built for alpine climbing and mountaineering in the shoulder seasons, where you need a careful balance of protection, low weight, and mobility. Rab uses its toughest double weave Matrix™ fabric here, so the pant stands up well to scrapes with rock while keeping bulk down for a clean fit under a harness.

In use, the articulated patterning and long length gusset make a real difference on steep steps and high reaches, giving you exceptional knee lift without the usual restriction. Kicker patches add durability and protection against crampon tears, the snap-adjustable hem works with a range of boots, and the low-bulk waistband sits comfortably under a harness. All three zipped pockets are harness compatible, which is exactly the kind of detail you appreciate when you're partway up a route in mixed conditions.
