Do you need protection without bulk? Built from stretch-woven fleece, our Women’s Rhombic Tight is a durable, windproof and water-repellent pant for comfort and flexibility during hikes, treks and hut-to-hut adventures.
The Women’s Rhombic Tight is built from Thermic™ Pro, a woven fleece fabric with four-way stretch for unrestricted movement. The new design also incorporates stretch side panels with extra elastane for even greater flexibility, plus double-knit construction for additional strength, warmth and comfort. The use of a DWR coating helps increase weather resistance and the soft, wide waistband comes with simple drawcord adjustment. Fast, flexible and lightfooted, the Women’s Rhombic Tight also features a secure YKK® zipped thigh pocket, which is ideal for essentials.
From simple hill walks to scrambling, via ferrata and more ambitious Big Mountain adventures, the Women’s Rhombic Tight combines a ‘second skin’ fit with impressive weather resistance for all-day comfort in the hills.
Our Verdict
The Rhombic Tights are designed to meet the needs of those who want a high level of protection against the elements but still a high level of performance for adventures with out extra weight.
The Thermic™ Pro, stretch fleece performs really well at both keeping your legs warm and providing a fantastic range of movement, but without feeling bulky. The other features such as the windproof and water repellentcy (will need to be reproofed regularly in order to maintain this) add to the comfort and the reassurance of protection from the elements, without having to drag the overtrousers out for a bit of light rain or drizzle.
The zipped pocket is a good size and most phones will fit in there and is also useful for other essentials when moving fast.
