The Kinetic Alpine 2.0 makes an excellent match with the Kinetic Alpine 2.0 jacket, and the main material is the three-layer Proflex™ laminate.
This is made up of two stretch nylon fabrics in the trousers. The outer, which is more durable and stiffer, and the inner, which is softer and more breathable. In between is the polyurethane membrane itself, which gives the trousers a water column of 20,000 mm.
An even thicker nylon fibre is used in the mechanically stressed areas (the front of the trousers and the rear) to provide better abrasion resistance. You'll appreciate this especially when climbing or ski touring.
TheRab Kinetic Alpine 2.0 trousers are extremely stretchy and also achieve a very good breathability of 20,000 g/m2 in 24 hours.
They are equipped with two side pockets with waterproof YKK zippers. There are no rear pockets. The waistband is tightened with an integrated belt, which is tightened in one place only, even with gloves. The drawstring is positioned so that it does not interfere with the climbing harness.
The trousers are slightly raised at the back and have an overall higher cut. The cut is intentionally looser around the hips to allow for layering. You can add, for example, the Rab Forge leggings or the thicker Rab Flux leggings for the cold.
The trousers are unzipped by two metal patches and a flap with a waterproof YKK zipper. The lower part of the trousers has short zippers that allow the trousers to be opened when used with high boots. The inner part of the trousers around the ankles is reinforced with thicker nylon to increase durability.
Like the Kinetic Alpine 2.0 jacket, the Kinetic Alpine 2.0 trousers are designed for low and high frequency activities throughout the year. They find their use in the changeable conditions of spring and autumn, when temperatures fluctuate and when showers alternate with clear skies.
In winter, they can serve as excellent external protection against wind and wet snow, and in summer they can also find a place as a reliable outer layer during short showers. However, the reinforced panels and slightly heavier weight of the Kinetic Alpine 2.0 make it particularly suited to activities that demand more material and require moremore resilience. It is thus fully applicable for winter and summer climbing, on ferrata or skialps.
The Kinetic Alpine 2.0 also serves well for activities such as light hiking, running or cross-country skiing. For these activities you can also choose the lighter Kinetic 2.0 model.
