First Ascent Flash Flood Rain Pants

So, here’s the thing – jackets and top layers get all the limelight, but very little is said about waterproof pants. We’re changing that: : These lightweight, packable pants will keep your legs dry and warm in the rain, thanks to a 5 000 mm waterproof rating, and they’re easy to slip on over shorts, pants or tights. They’re breathable at the same time, thanks to the 5 000 g/m²/24 Vapourtex shell, so you won’t end up with sweat-logged, steamfilled pants – no matter how active you are. Other nifty features: articulated knees for easy movement; ankle zips to fit over boots; fully taped seams; inner-leg hem abrasion patches and a water-resistant back pocket. Travellers, adventurers, and fishermen – these are golden.
