Sometimes, deciding to continue with plans on a cloudy day works out fine. Other times, you spend a day (or several) trying to stay optimistic in the face of leaky tents, socked-in summits, and soggy clothes. Though there's no way of knowing exactly which way things will go, you can be prepared for the worst case scenario. Pack the Outdoor Research Women's Helium Pant along with you when the skies are unpredictable, and pull it on quickly over your hiking shorts if things take a turn for the wet and rainy. This waterproof pant will make sure you stay dry through quick passing showers and longer storm systems alike, and it easily stows inside of its own pocket, so you can stash it back in your pack if the skies decide to clear.

Perfect ul rain protection for wife hiking thru dense brush
Excellent rain protection for ultralight backpacking. So light that we never even consider not taking it when we leave the backpack at camp.

I can't speak to their performance yet, but I can speak to their sizing. Having read reviews on this product on other sites, I followed consistent advice to size up. Some reviews said to size up one size, while others said two. I am usually a small (6) in pants, so I ordered the medium pants. When I received them, I noticed that they fit over thin yoga pants, but they were not suitable for going over my quite fitted/not-at-all bulky jeans. I returned the mediums and bought the large.

Would buy again and recommend to friends
These stay in my day pack at all times for the unexpected rain, slush, and/or snow that can occur at any time in the PNW. They are the perfect back-up outer layer and extra windbreak when needed as well. They are no frills - one back pocket and boot zips - but that is all that is needed for these very lightweight rain pants.

Love these light weight rain pants. I have used them successfully in the NW rainy days and have them in my hiking pack now at all times. Love them!

Minimalist and effective
Feathery light, wonderfully minimalist. Great for water-proofness, good (but not great) breathability

Great lightweight rain pants
I use Helium pants for backpacking. The best features are lightweight and packablity. We used it in a steady light rain and kept us dry inside. Because of the ultralight weight, long term durability is yet to be found out.

Nice and lightweight
great pants, nice and lightweight. had to size up to a large. Mediums were too tight around my thighs.
