Rab Women's Talus Active 4" Running Short

A technical mountain running short built for long summer days on trail and talus. The Talus Active gets the balance right between minimal weight, real storage, and the kind of comfort that holds up over high mileage efforts.

Highlights

• Lightweight Matrix stretch fabric with DWR — A breathable, 92gsm single weave that moves without restriction and sheds light moisture. Fluorocarbon-free DWR keeps the finish clean for the environment without sacrificing performance.
• Built-in Motiv Aero liner brief — An ultralight, breathable liner with odour control treatment that stays comfortable in the heat over long efforts. Keeps everything in place without adding bulk or weight.
• Close-fitting Flexile waistband — Designed to reduce bounce and stay supportive over long distances without digging in or shifting. A waistband that actually disappears on the run.
• Strategic pocket layout — Two mesh pockets plus a zipped back pocket cover the essentials without adding meaningful weight. Enough storage for a phone, gels, and a key without the bulk of a vest.
• Side split hem — Adds extra leg mobility for high stepping over talus, technical trail, and uneven terrain where a straight hem pulls tight and limits your stride.
• 3.6 ounce total weight — Exceptionally light for a short with this level of storage and a built-in liner. A gram-conscious choice for runners who notice what they're wearing.

Best for

Mountain runners and trail runners who want a versatile, high performance short for long summer efforts on technical terrain. A strong choice for anyone who needs real storage without the weight or bulk of a separate vest on shorter outings.
