Why We Like The Exposure/2 Gore-Tex Paclite Plus Pant

When we’re on multi day backpacking trips or traveling in the alpine, we’re bringing along the Mountain Hardwear Exposure/2 Paclite Plus Pant so we’re prepared for unpredictable weather. It packs down small enough to hardly take up any space in your pack and provides you with reliable rain protection should you need it. The Packlite Plus membrane is soft and offers next-to-skin comfort while completely blocking moisture from seeping in. The ankle zip with snaps and sturrup loops keep the pant in place so you can continue to hike instead of trying to find shelter.

Almost

It was suggested to buy one size larger. So I did. Pants now too large. You have to take your boots off to put on the pants. This should have been made clear in the description. Very light weight.

Mountain hardwear expert ignored and it’s sad

Product ripped without even field test by branch. As an expert through professional credentials as mountain hardwear had selected, the customer support didn’t even know what expert level or etc. told me to buy new ones.

Packable Gortex rain pants

Super light weight. Maybe not the gear for heavy work on a commercial fishing boat, but ideal for being prepared for an afternoon thunderstorm during your next backpacking trip or hiking outings abroad.

Great pants, but be gentle!

These are really great rain pants, everything that you'd expect from Gore-tex, plus they are incredibly lightweight. My only complaint is that I put a hole in them the first time I wore them. I do tend to be a bit of a bull in a china shop, but just keep in mind the Paclite is pretty delicate.

As Advertised

As advertised, this waterproof pant is light and packable. Time will tell about it's durability.

No Ankle Zippers

I ordered a pair of these and they came without ankle zippers. Do not care for having to pay a return fee due to mis-representation of the product.

Great Rain Pants

These are the best rain pants that I have purchased to date. They are light, comfortable and almost seem like they are not there when you are wearing them.

No ankle zippers as shown and described

I ordered a pair of these and they came without ankle zippers. I returned them and ordered another pair - no ankle zippers again... Now they say 'there is a glitch on their website'... Now I have to return again... Some glitch showing a photo of the zippers and the zippers detailed in the description. Let's just own it and call it a mistake.

Nice waterproof for back backing.

Very light and fits well. However, they aren't rip resistant (downside of light weight material).

Fits fully, but a little too short

I got this product anticipating the rains for trail runs during the spring. They've got a nice, full fit for walking around, even for a former shot putter like me. They're just a little to short for running without planning for the mid-calf, unfortunately. With the drawstring I don't worry about them coming down but they're not for super-active movement given they're not full-coverage around the cuff. I have no doubt they'll be great in the rain apart from what I'll have to cover separately.
