Ranked #166 - Men's Rain Pants
June 16, 2010
Overall a good pair of pants. So far completely water proof. Here's what else I found:
-Tiny when packed into pocket.
-Long enough. I take small because of my waist size (30), but I'm not short (5'11). Thankfully these were long enough.
-The bottom cuff is too wide for my taste. They are almost flared out at the ankles. There's a tightening velcro, but even at the max, they are nowhere near tight around my ankles (something I would like, when walking through wet grass/fields/bush). I guess that could be fixed by adding a patch of velcro further along the periphery of the ankle hole.
