Great Hard Shell

By Sean Chism Ranked #164 - Men's Rain Pants July 17, 2010

These pants are really great. You know what your getting with Gore-Tex Paclite, a breathable material that will hold up better than the cheaper ultralight breathable materials. That being said, the things I like about these pants are the waterproof zippers on the legs (no more storm flaps for the zippers to get cought in), and the elastic waist is comfertable to wear all day. The 3/4 length zippers I go back in forth on. I prefer them to full length if you want to vent your legs because full length zips tend to get loose around the waist when the zippers are down, but when it comes to putting them on over boots or crampons the full zip is the way to go. I guess nothing is perferct. Like all other OR Gear I have these pants are of the highest quality. Oh yeah, they have suspender loops also!
