Mountain Hardwear Typhoon Pant - Men's
Great if they fit
By Morrie Gasser
Ranked #194 - Men's Rain Pants
December 3, 2009
I guess these pants are made for incredibly slim young jocks with long legs. With a 33" waist I always get medium, but with these I had to try a large which means the legs are too long, but even a large seemed a bit tight for my butt, so finally I returned them. But if they fit you, they're wonderfully light for what they do.I'd give it 5 stars except for a rather serious flaw: the leg zips don't go high enough to comfortably take these pants on and off with boots on. With crampons, forget it. I wear only size 9, and I can barely get my boots through them. Probably not good winter pants unless you never plan to take them off.
