Updated for this season with a recycled outer fabric, the Kangri GTX is a robust and reliable hard shell built with 70D 3-Layer GORE-TEX. Designed with the avid all-weather adventurer in mind, the Kangri GTX is ideal for hillwalking, hiking, trekking and mountain scrambles. In addition to the exhaustive durability tests carried out by our fabric partners, we comprehensively test all of our designs both in the confines of Rab HQ and by sending them to some of the most extreme environments in the world. They feature Rab's 'regular' fit and are available in different leg lengths (short, regular, long) for a varied selection of sizes and shapes. Thanks to this and the tab adjusters on the waist, these trousers should fit almost anyone. Our athletes understanding of what constitutes an industry-leading product and the insight they provide is vital to the design and testing process.

The Kangri Pants are fully waterproof, windproof, breathable trousers using a Gore-Tex membrane, a 70D nylon outer fabric and a host of mountain-focused features which make them ideal for all year round use.Built for total protection in wet weather, the Kangri GTX pants are ideal for long mountain days in changeable conditions. They are made from robust and breathable 70D 3-Layer GORE-TEX with an outer fabric constructed from recycled material. They have a regular cut and versatile design that’s perfect for winter hillwalking and long-distance treks. Windproof and breathable, the Kangri GTX will keep you dry in the most severe downpours and provide protection from howling winds. Additional ventilation via deep, two-way pit zips allows for effective temperature regulation in demanding terrain. An elasticated hem and drawcord waist allow you to adjust the fit and seal in the heat when the temperature plummets.

Creating a waterproof fabric is one thing, but making sure it can stand up to the frankly ridiculous things our athletes and customers get up to is another challenge entirely.

I preferred my Berghaus Changste, with its tight, athletic fit, for lighter and faster hikes, but when the heavens really opened I often reached for the Rab Kangri. It was the durable, hard-wearing and high-performing waterproof I needed for such tough conditions. The standard test for waterproofing is to build up water pressure on the surface of the fabric and measure how much it can withstand before it allows water to pass through. Imagine a very tall, open-ended laboratory test tube standing on the fabric and being slowly filled with water. As more water is added, the pressure on the fabric will slowly increase. When we talk about the level of waterproofness in a particular fabric, we are expressing the height of that column before the waterproofing surrenders e.g. 20,000mm. This measurement is known as the hydrostatic head. Keep your feet dry and your mind focused with our full-length Kangri GTX Gaiter. With 3-layer GORE-TEX fabrics and 300D ankle reinforcements, it provides the perfect mix of tough mountain protection and zero-sweat breathability.
