Great all around rain pant - Arc'teryx Zeta SL Pant - Women's

These are nice multi-purpose rain pants that are would also be good over a base layer for skiing, winter trekking, biking in the rain. They are smooth and lower cut in front, and rise in the rear. This makes for a comfortable fit around the waist. They are relatively stylish as they are a trimmer cut than many rain pants. The full side zip would be fantastic for zipping off over boots. They do make a swishy sound like other rain pants.

I was excited to find the short inseam in these, but they were still too long on me. I'm a petite xs, and short cuts in other brands such as Prana fit well, but these were still 2-3" too long. Unfortunately, they went back.
