Great lightweight rain pant

By Andrea Murland Ranked #40 - Women's Pants September 3, 2009

I purchased these pants before a long backpacking (hiking) trip in the Alps last year. I never had any leakage of water through the pant. Through rain, sleet, hail, and snow, these pants have kept me dry. The zippers at the bottom of the pant makes it easy to get them on and off over my boots, which is great for quick switches on the trail. The tab with hook-and-loop fastener allows for adjustment of the width of the cuff, so i could tighten the pants on the top of my boot if necessary.

The pants pack into a pocket, which makes them a tiny little package which fits into odd spaces in my pack, or into a side pocket with my jacket.

There is a tear on the bum of my pants - I must have caught them on something sharp.

Overall: great waterproofing, excellent features, but not the most sturdy fabric for heavy abuse.
