Ranked #1615 - Men's Pants
April 30, 2009
These pants kept me nice and dry on a multi-day alpine hike through mixed weather. I slipped them on several times during rain over wet hiking pants, and they kept me comfortable. I also used them on top of a heavy base layer and fleece pants on summit day (Kilimanjaro) with no real problems.
They are light-weight, water-proof, and fairly breathable. They are pretty packable for this type of garment. I was all set to give them a 5/5 stars when I noticed pretty significant wear/abrasion on the butt of the pants. They do the job of keeping out rain, but be aware that they are NOT shell pants and will tear fairly easily against rocks, etc.
