Offering impressive freedom of movement for extreme ascents, the Rab ASCENDOR ALPINE W is a technical pant for women that is a great companion for winter mountaineers.

Heralded as the most durable and protective of the Ascendor line, this model is made from a 2-layer Matrix softshell fabric that is highly resistant to wind and weather. This soft, medium-density fabric keeps you warm when the weather turns cold, while the reinforcements protect your lower legs from the elements and crampons. The semi-adjustable waistband, velcro waistband, and removable belt or suspenders make this a great fit for any body type. In addition, the high waist makes it easy to wear the harness, while the preformed knees and long gusset offer total freedom of movement during long climbs.

Several details enhance its effectiveness, such as the two invisible zippered slits on the thigh that ensure good ventilation, the zippered ankle gusset to go over heavy climbing boots in winter, the two front hand pockets and the back pocket with reliable YKK zippers .
