Most Helpful Positive Review Recommended Rain Pants
These were purchased to replace a pair of Marmot Pre-cip rain pants and found they far exceed them, I brought them on a 8 day backpack trip where they really came through. They proved waterproof in significant rain events, are very lightweight and packed into even the smallest stash pockets on my backpack. They're breathable, and were comfortable with all but higher exertion while hiking. These Rabs seem to have a lower rise or are just better tailored around the lower torso. In the Marmot Pre-cip's I always had to turn down the waist band to take up the paunch that extra fabric created ...

basic rain pants

by ermmd, from WA, United States Written on July 29, 2020
I needed an extra pair of comfortable rain gear. Good basic rain pants at a good price.Sizing a bit small. Will definitely keep you dry but hard toget over shorts once you get wet. I would order a size up for room. Otherwise they were a good buy.
Best Used for:
  • camp comfort
Would recommend: Yes

Very lightweight, keeps you dry

I had a 10 year old pair of REI rain pants that needed replacing pretty badly. This one caught my eye because I am short and needed rain pants with a short inseam. Unfortunately, not many companies make short inseam pants. I had other Rab gear and know it's good quality. What I like about these pants is that it is VERY lightweight. It's easy to shove this in the bottom of your pack for emergencies. Because it is lightweight, the material is thinner than I'm accustomed to....so one of my concerns is durability and longevity. It feels fairly fragile. I've used it about a half dozen times and did scoot down some rocks with these pants and they didn't puncture or tear. They also kept me completely dry and I didn't feel clammy. The bottom of the pant have really long zips so it's easy to slip on over your boots. Only thing I really wish it had was pockets. There are zero pockets in this rain pant.
Pros:
  • Lightweight
Cons:
  • feels fragile
  • no pockets
Best Used for:
  • emergency rain pants
Would recommend: Yes
