Patagonia Rain Shadow Pant - Men's
overpriced and underperforms
By wakesox
Ranked #25 - Men's Pants
July 11, 2007
as with the rain shadow jacket, these pants are hardly waterproof in heavy rain and do not breathe. You will get wet even in no rain from transpiration build up on the inside. They are not easy to get on over hiking boots and ride up the ankles. ankle zippers come unzipped if left partly open to fit over boots. Without gaiters they are worthless.
Plus=compressible. also they seem to have minor rippage with lots of use so I guess the 'ripstop' works well.
