The Rab Men's Momentum Shorts are lightweight, fast-drying 9-inch shorts built for all mountain activities — from summer scrambles to changeable alpine conditions where you need protection without the weight. They're made from Rab's Matrix™ fabric, engineered to move and dry fast.
The Matrix™ stretch single-weave nylon is a light 130 grams per square meter (GSM) — a measure of fabric weight — with a fluorocarbon-free durable water repellent (DWR) finish that sheds light moisture without the “forever chemicals” of traditional treatments. Four-way movement comes from the 85% polyamide / 15% elastane blend, an elasticated waist with a drawcord dials in the fit, two hand pockets add venting mesh pocket bags, and a YKK® zipped rear pocket keeps valuables secure. The 9-inch inside leg splits the difference between coverage and freedom of movement.
