Firewall Pants

🏔️ Description

Rab Firewall Pants. Waterproof trousers to provide complete protection against rain and wind during mountain routes. Their 3-layer Pertex® Shield 40D construction allows you to wear a specific protective layer when the weather turns bad.

⭐ The Mountain Group opinion

Assess the type of side opening and the space for the layers you will wear underneath. Protection that is easy to put on and adjust is more useful than choosing solely based on the name of the membrane.
