lightweight rain pants
A great lightweight pair of rain pants. Used them as a shell during a snow storm and stayed dry.

Good rain pants, heavier than advertised
Good rain pants but heavier than advertised (by about 1/3). I tried on and weighted the medium and the large, but were about 200 gr. Cut was nice, functional, no extra design stuff that I did not need. The large would have fit but I returned because of the weight.

Great lightweight rain paints!
Great lightweight rain paints - do what they are intended to do. And a great warranty, as my seams split after 4 years of good usage, and OR completely warrantied them

Top Rated for Ultra Light Hikers
Same material as the Helium Rain Jacket. Sizing is perfect. Keeps me dry for short periods of time. Don't expect these to keep you dry all day! They work for an hour or so then wet through, but that's expected. These are excellent for through hiking when weight means everything!

Good foul-weather pants
Seem to fit true to size. I'm 5'10" 160lbs and wear 30/32 pants. These fit over most of my pants without a problem and I haven't had any issues with movement restriction. These have been a great addition to my foul weather gear for my boat.

Great gear if you prioritize weight over staying dry
Pay close attention to the waterproof rating on this. The weight savings and packability come with a tradeoff. Anything more than a light drizzle and the rain will quickly soak through. Would not recommend if you plan on taking into the backcountry in the cold/wet months

Lightweight rain gear keeping me dry
Very impressed with the waterproofing for such a lightweight pant. I bought these primarily for bike commuting in the northwest coast of British Columbia and they've kept me completely dry with water coming from all directions. The large/tall are a perfect fit for me (6'4" 175lbs). Have yet to trial these on extended hikes, but I'm optimistic that the light weight and solid waterproofing will make them a good addition to the gear. Only change I would make right now would be to have a front pocket rather than a rear pocket. Will see if they are durable in the long term, but I've been using an OR rain jacket for the past 6 years and it's still keeping me dry so hopefully these pants meet that standard.
