Rab Men's Khroma Diffract Insulated Ski Pants

Purpose-built for tackling steep ascents and claiming untouched lines, these protective waterproof ski trousers are expertly crafted to meet the rigorous demands of ski touring and mountaineering in cold, alpine conditions. Lightly insulated with 70% recycled PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation, strategically placed around the seat and thighs, they maintain warmth in vital muscle areas without weighing the wearer down. Whether ascending on skins or carving through untouched powder, these trousers provide unrestricted movement and a reliable barrier against the elements. Made from waterproof Proflex™ fabric, they combine the stretch and softness of a softshell with the weather protection of a hardshell—ideal for navigating varied snow conditions with confidence and comfort.

Zipped stretch gaiters and a snap closure at the hem enable the wearer to seal out spindrift while allowing for quick boot adjustments. Reinforced kicker patches provide durability against scrapes from rocks, ice, or ski edges. The deep-lined waistband offers a tailored fit via dual hook-and-loop adjusters, or through belt and brace compatibility using built-in attachment points. Articulated knees and a diamond gusset panel ensure natural movement when tackling steep climbs with skis in hand. Heat management is effortless thanks to zipped thigh vents, while storage is both ample and secure with zipped hand pockets and an expandable thigh pocket, which includes an internal clip for securing essentials such as keys on deep powder outings.
