Total freedom. Total protection.

Waterproof pants that restrict movement on technical terrain are not waterproof pants worth wearing. The Rab Kinetic Alpine Stretch Pants resolve the tension between protection and mobility through 3-layer Pertex Shield construction with 4-way stretch, delivering 30,000mm waterproof protection with 25,000g MVTR breathability in a fully articulated fit designed to move with the body across alpine ascents and steep ski tours. An integrated RECCO reflector adds passive rescue search capability without adding weight or operational requirement, and a semi-adjustable hook-and-loop waistband with YKK fly provides a secure, customizable fit over base layers in any temperature. Three YKK AquaGuard external pockets, including one thigh pocket and two hand pockets, provide accessible, waterproof-sealed storage in gloved hands, and two zipped thigh vents dump excess heat during high-output climbing and skinning sections. A zipped ankle gusset adapts to both ski and alpine boots, making these pants genuinely versatile across activity types rather than optimized for only one. From long ski tour approaches to technical mixed climbing days, the Kinetic Alpine Stretch Pants cover the full range of serious alpine movement without asking you to choose between performance and protection.
