Designed to do more than rest at the bottom of your pack as an emergency layer (yes, they're great for that too), these rain pants are optimized for movement, protection, and comfort. AscentShell 3L breathable waterproof technology gives you the very best seam-taped rain protection, with an electrospun air permeable membrane that releases excess heat. The result are pants that keep you dry from the inside out, weigh less, and pack down into their own back pocket. Throw these on over burly hiking boots in a snap with their hip-high side zips, and take on any forecast.
