Rainy day on Mt. Fuji.

Wearing these pants during rainy days on my 3 mile walk to work has been perfect. No problems at all!However my Mt. Fuji climb was a little bit of a different story. This was my first time climbing a mountain and I'm just going to guess that these aren't the type of pants you are supposed to wear on a mountain climb, despite what the description says "...almost any mountain adventure." It rained on the last hour to the summit and 2 hours down from the summit. VERY heavy rain and 65mph wind gusts seemed to go right through through. Within 30 minutes my legs were soaked!Overall, these pants get the job done on normal day hikes and rainy walks to work, but if you run into extreme weather you may want to go with something else. Lessons learned on my part.
