Rab Womens Metron Tights

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Reinforced with three weights of zoned stretch fabric, these high waisted stretch tights offer support where it’s needed, a flattering shape, and complete freedom to move.

Rab says:

Built to cope with the demands of rough rock and exposed terrain, the Metron Tights have reinforcement in high wear areas. Dual weights of Flexile™ fabric offer body contouring mobility and lightweight Matrix™ Stretch provides abrasion resistance. Finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, they offer fast-drying protection.

With a deep, high waistband that fits seamlessly with a harness and a lower leg key pocket with shock cord attachment, the Metron Tights are our definitive climbing leggings. Designed for all day at the crag, high energy indoor training sessions, or long summer evenings, testing your limits on the boulders.

Our Verdict

The Metron tights offer a really good performance climbing legging that is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use due to the really resistant Matrix fabric that sees off abrasion damage with no trouble. They are also a good choice for scrambling on tougher ground in warmer. 

The flexibility offered by the Flexile fabric is amazing, and there are no restrictions on movement no matter how challenging the heel hook or stretch between footholds. 

The Metron is designed to be a striped back tight with no pockets however there is a small key loop and pouch on the leg designed for storing a locker key for when you are at the wall, which is an interesting idea but maybe not too comfortable if you fell on it.
