Rab says: 

With stretch, mobility and high-performance fabric, the Momentum Shorts are built to keep you moving all day long no matter what terrain or conditions you encounter. Lightweight and fast drying the Matrix™ fabric with fluorocarbon-free DWR, offers wind and weather resistance, ideal for variable conditions. They have a comfortable, elasticated waistband with a simple drawcord adjuster, two front hand pockets, and a zipped rear pocket. Perfect for mountain trekking, hiking, and general outdoor use.

Our Verdict

Rab’s Momentum Shorts are lightweight and packable. They have plenty of stretch which combined with an elasticated waist band and adjustable drawcord make them extremely comfortable.

They are a bit longer cut than many lightweight shorts so great if you want a bit more length or are taller.

The fabric is Rab’s tried and tested Matrix™ stretch so we know it will be durable despite it’s light weight.
