Arc'teryx Alpha SL Pant - Men's
alpha SL rain pant

Ranked #1154 - Men's Pants

These are great light weight rain pants. They breathe pretty well, and do a great job of keeping you dry, but they are more of a trail pant. I shredded mine bushwhacking, they now leak like a sieve, and that hurts at $200 a pair. I am 6' 5", 40" waist, weigh 275 lbs, and the knees are not cut right, considerable binding when going uphill.
Typical Arc'teryx quality seams, and overall finish, but the waist drawstring adjustment slide is completely bogus. The designer must have thought it would be cute to make it small, and hard to work with numb fingers. They lose two stars for that, and the price.
