Have had over years 4
Have had over years 4 pairs Rab trousers in size 8, normal length. Previous pairs fit a skinny figure really well; these although the waist is fine, the cut of the rear and legs would fit a size 16. Unfortunately labels removed in haste, otherwise would have returned.

Had one pair already -
Had one pair already - bought second pair for future use! They are ideal. Best waterproof trousers I have ever owned. I wear them with thin long coms. Also bought the second pair in case Rab, in the future, changed design, colour, fabric etc.

I have women's Kinetic Alpine
I have women's Kinetic Alpine Jacket and Pants which are absolutely brilliant. Ordered pair of Kinetic Alpine Pants 2 as back up. They are nothing like the predecessor, baggy fit, noisy fabric, garish colour blend, returned as not as expected.
