The Rab Talus leggings are true to size, flattering, and contour the body perfectly. They form a snug fit, thanks largely to the flexible yet supportive soft material, allowing for free movement while running mountains and trails - exactly as they are designed for.
Not only do the Talus feel nice and light, but they also effectively wick moisture and dry quickly, even in damp conditions. The high-wear areas are reinforced, which works well. For instance, I once had a fall where I cut my knee, but the tights remained intact. This proves their flexibility and breathability since the low-wear areas are made of thinner material. Another plus, the Talus is also squat-proof, in other words, not see-through.
They offer great functionality with two thigh stash pockets and a waist zip pocket, providing a brilliant amount of storage. The high waistband with a thin drawstring has to be knotted since it is just a loop with no ends, supposedly to avoid losing the end of a drawstring. Regardless of drawcord, the leggings held in place well.
The Talus has some small reflective details, with one on the waistband that might be hidden by a long top or jacket. Unfortunately, the care label inside the leggings on the right leg caused some irritation on my skin as I ran. However, apart from that, the seams were comfortable.
In addition to their performance, Rab is climate neutral, so you can invest in their gear without any environmental guilt. What’s more, Rab also prioritises sustainability by using more recycled materials and eliminating the use of fluorocarbons.
