Description

A highly breathable rain pant that keeps it simple but sacrifices nothing.

Push through driving rain and torrential downpours while the waterproof and highly breathable fabric of the Men's Vaporshell 3L Pant keeps you bone dry and comfortable. Stoic used fully welded construction in order to improve overall durability and weatherproofing, and this construction allows for smaller seams that won't chafe against your legs. Furthermore, this three-layer rain pant features a gusseted crotch for supreme mobility, and the ergonomic cut keeps this pant close but comfortable—there's enough room underneath for your hiking shorts or long pants.

  • Vaporshell fabric uses a proprietary waterproof breathable urethane membrane that keeps you dry in wet weather
  • Membrane breathability allows sweaty vapor to escape from within
  • Vaporshell fabric has a shockingly high air permeability that allows air to move through the fabric so you fell cool, not hot and stifled
  • Fully welded construction further improves durability and weatherproofing
  • 3-D Ergonomic fit moves with you while you run, hike, or lug a pack over long trails
  • Crotch gusset ensures full range of motion when you need to step high
  • Elastic waist and adjustable waist-belt keep the fit nice and secure
  • Extremely compressible—plays nice with other gear in your pack

Wore these in what I'd call light showers during a 2.5 hr, 8 mile hike under leaved trees, which cut down on the direct exposure to rain. They soaked through and worst of all, the "seam sealed" pocket leaked and ruined my cell phone. I had verified before the start of the hike that the zipper was fully closed, so I certainly wasn't expecting that to happen. Thanks, Stoic. I was wearing a OR Goretex rain jacket during this hike and my GPS and MP3 player stayed dry, for reference. These are going back.

The outer fabric soaks up water, doesn't leak through, but you're sure as hell not getting any breathability at that point. The cut is atrocious. The hip belt, fully tightened, didn't get close to keeping them up & just bunched up the fabric over the crotch.
Basically Stoic (as I assume this was a fully in house product, not a rebranded piece of gear) has/had not invested in quality R &D up to this point.
Love what the brand represents- quality outdoor gear at an affordable price, but it's hit or miss thus far.
This was a miss.

Can you use these for skiing? Or, why are these not ideal for skiing?

Snow blows straight up the cuff into your boot unless you duct tape them tight. The fabric rips when you go for the pop the ski off with the other ski. No usable storage or vents.

I got these pants to keep me dry. They failed. I got wet. Prepare to be returned.

The fit is much too tight in the thighs/crotch and restricts movement. It's also ridiculously huge around the ankles. Feels like I'm wearing bell bottoms. But most importantly, they are BARELY WATER RESISTANT! Absolutely not water proof. The factory DWR finish does not repel water at all. I put them on, went outside, turned on the shower nozzle of the garden hose, and was shocked to see the pants instantly wet through and make my legs cold and damp. These pants will be returned ASAP and exchanged for something that is actually water proof, allows for freedom of movement and layering, and doesn't make me feel like a 70's hippy with bell bottoms. Please don't waste your money on these "rain" pants.

I should add now, a couple hours later, that I was a bit harsh originally. While it's true that the cut/fit is less than desirable AND that the factory DWR is useless, I will say that the fabric as a whole does seem to be waterproof (just not the first layer). I stood in the shower for 30 minutes and came out bone dry :) I can't yet critique the breathabilty or durability of these pants, but I think I'll up my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.

The thought of someone standing in the shower with rain pants on for 30 minutes is pretty funny. Were you wearing a jacket to compete the ensemble?

Has anybody used these pants for biking?...

Has anybody used these pants for biking? Would they be stretchy/flexible enough to handle that kind of leg movement?

Michael - these would not be my first choice because they are straight leg and will likely get snagged in your chain eventually. If you search "Hincapie Sportswear Elemental Rain Pant" or "Craft Bullet Rain Pant" you'll see a couple of recommended options that are cut for riding and won't break the bank.

Thanks Mark!

I thought the straight leg would be an issue, but I considered using a leg band on my right leg (or both, depending on how big the pants are) to keep them away from the drive system. I try not to ride in the rain too often, and I need a dedicated pair of rain pants for hiking... so I was trying to see if these would cut it every once in a while. The price tag certainly beats any dedicated bike rain pants I have looked at.

I normally wear pants with a 30" waist and a 34" inseam, what size would work best for me in these pants? are they trim or more baggy?

Did you buy these pants, what size worked? I am 6'3" and usually wear 32x34, any suggestions?

Hard to beat for the price, the waterproofing on this pant is great and the are very lightweight. I am 5'10" 170lbs and usually wear a 32x30. I purchased the size medium and they are spacious with room for layering underneath. The waste fits snug and the leg openings are wide which combined with the zippers, makes it easy to pull on and off with boots.

I was really excited to get these... which only added to the disappointment when they didn't even remotely fit. I usually wear a 32x32 pant, and have usually found a stoic medium in pants to fit well to slightly large (always manageable though). These were huge, couldn't really tighten the waist all the way, and the legs and leg openings (as other have mentioned) are huge on these things. I wanted something slim enough that I could wear them over a pair of light shorts while hiking in rain or through wet grass/forest and feel like I was wearing a regularly cut pair of pants. After trying them on I could tell they were much to big for this, felt like they were cut more like a pair of snowboarding snowpants, which as far as I can tell is not their intended purpose.

If you want them to throw on over other paints, and don't care if there is a bunch of extra material flopping around you ankles then I'm sure they would do fine... that style is just not for me.

Im usually a 30-32 waist. Which size would probably work best for me? I know Stoic gear sometimes runs a bit funny when it comes to sizing.

Hi Taylor Yager,

Thanks for your question. It is going to kind of depend on how much you layer underneath if at all as this is a straight up shell pant, but I'd say stick with the medium as Stoic does tend to run a bit small.

I would argue that this is not true... I wear a 32 waist and ordered a pair of mediums... with a pair of underwear and light hiking shorts on under them I couldn't even tighten the waist belt enough for them to stay up all the way. I would assume the smalls might fit a bit better.

well constructed, decent fit, fine for the purpose. If you're just throwing them on for a brief drizzle while backpacking or on the approach or if you're just wearing them around camp, they seem like they'd be fine. But, the opening at the base of the legs is HUGE, big enough to put your boots through, but that is what the zipper is supposed to be for. Not exactly an ideal cut for more active mountain sports.

Agreed, the leg openings are too big and there's no way to tighten them. I was out in the rain for several hours and my ankles got soaked. They look nice though.
