Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The freedom of leggings combined with protection and durability of tough mountain gear. These stretchy, fast wicking, mountain tights are ideal for hiking and scrambling.

Rab says:

Built with a combination of high stretch, quick wicking, Flexile™ 200 and strong, breathable Matrix™ fabric, the Horizon Tights are built to get you take you to the summit. Reinforced with Matrix™ in high wear areas, they offer abrasion resistance for scrambling over rocks and protection from the elements. With ultra-high stretch Flexile™200, an articulated design, and low bulk seams, they minimise rubbing and maximise mobility, perfect for pressing on up steep inclines.

The Horizon Tights have a comfortable, deep waistband for a secure fit and a concealed zipped thigh pocket for stashing essentials and an overlap thigh pocket large enough for stashing a phone or snack. Fast drying and protective, they are ideal for all mountain adventures, from hiking in spring and summer or as a baselayer in changeable conditions.

Our Verdict

The Rab Horizon tights are a built to be used for more adventurous terrain where mobility and protection are key, and have done this by using a highly flexible but abrasion resistant fabric in the Flexile 200 that provides a excellent range of movement and stretch on any ground. 

While designed primarily for the steeper stuff they would also be perfect for warmer weather hikes, treks as they offer a fantastic level of comfort and are very breathable and fast wicking. 

The storage pocket is a good size and you will fit the essentials in there and most phones will also fit.
