Lightweight Packable Rain System

By Jim Romaine Ranked #43 - Men's Rain Pants January 7, 2010

I just purchased these to wear in combination with my Columbia light shell. Together, I can stow them both in my packs rain cover pocket and have a ready to wear rain system quickley available. Just like the jacket, these pants are breathable, waterproof and block the wind. I am currently using them in place of my workgear because they are so much lighter than my issue system and are not cheap or flimsy but actually durable!!! They have pass throuh pockets and a velcro adjustable hem Which allows me to eliminate gaiters in wet vegitation. Bottom line, if your looking for good quality rain system that is light weight, packable, durable, wind resistant and a good value consider these. I will be buying an additional pair for work so I dont ruin my dedicated kit!!!
