Rain Pants

Rain pants, in combination with a rain jacket, are the first line of defense against the rain and chill that can ruin your hiking trip. This combo is also part of essential gear that finds a way into the saddlebags of motorcyclists who’re planning a long ride, are careful enough to check weather forecasts, or just don’t mind riding when it’s a little wet outside. Whatever the scenario, we have the right pair of waterproof pants that will keep you dry, warm, and protected from the wind in the outdoors.

These pants typically have two- or three-layer constructions, with the outer layer made from polyerster or nylon treated with water-repellent coating. It provides reliable protection against the rain, snow, and wind, which is enhanced by fully tape-sealed seams. It’s also essential that such gear be storage-friendly, i.e. lightweight and packing down compact enough not to take much space in your backpack. Rain pants generally feature an easy-on, easy-off design, having a roomy fit and zippers that make them easier to pull on over outerwear– and vent out excess heat if need be. Some of the pants come with activity-specific features, like heat shields for motorcycle riders.
