stecha's Review of Rab Downpour Pants - Women's

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
