Lightweight and waterproof, the Minimalist Pertex Pant keeps us dry and protected on trail and in town
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"These pants are a lifesaver for wet-weather hikes and backpacking trips. The Pertex Shield fabric is fully waterproof but still breathable, so I stay dry without overheating. I really appreciate the 3/4-length side zips—they make it easy to pull these on over boots when the weather takes a turn. The adjustable waistband gives me a secure fit, and the zippered pockets keep my essentials dry. Whether I’m caught in a downpour or just need a reliable shell for the trail, these are always in my pack."
When storm clouds threaten, we pull on the Minimalist Pertex Pant and keep moving. Made with Pertex Shield Revolve fabric, these lightweight shell pants provide full waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection, ensuring we stay dry and comfortable on the trail or around town.
Thoughtful details make all the difference. Fully seam-taped construction keeps leaks out, while a DWR finish sheds moisture from the fabric’s surface. The 3/4-length side zips let us quickly slip them on over boots when rain rolls in, and an adjustable integrated waist belt ensures a snug, customized fit. Zippered hand pockets keep small essentials secure and dry, making these packable shell pants an essential piece for any adventure in unpredictable weather.

Not so great for putting on with boots!
These pants seem well made. They fit well. I love the belt and the fly in the front of the pants. What I dislike is that the specifications said they are 3/4 zip. They only unzip to your knee and they are extremely difficult to get on and off with boots! I am going to keep the pants, but I wish the zipper went up to at least mid-thigh!
